From washer woman to slave to queen, this piece sings about the pain of being a black woman, the glory of it, the ecstasy, the grief and our various and sundry deaths. Priceless dance.
Absolutely beautiful, powerful & majestic. The perfect musical selection.
CRY is the MASTER PIECE of Alvin Ayley. Just timeless and full of fellings........
Tragedy. Dignity. Majesty. The story of all of our mothers. What a beautiful and timeless gift to the world.

Magnificent! So beautiful and affirming the dancing woman as she moves forward in her life. It is as Ailey would have wanted.
Just beautiful all of the dancers. I am watching it on Mother's Day. What a powerful master piece indeed. The first time I saw it was with Judith Jamison and later with Donna Woods. To all the dancers I say BRAVO! What beautiful filming and editing. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Sisters, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. What a tribute to life and to Alvin's legacy. Few of you, if any of you, will remember me as part of the Ailey Family, but I am, and so grateful to be. And to Miss Renée, my queen of all times, forever burnished in my youthful mind and spirit - you remain as glorious and regal as you ever were. Peace and love to you ALL and long may our story and our history be told. Thank you thank you thank you.

Briana and Bahiyah. Yea.
What's disappointing is that there is not one video on youtube that shows Judith Jamison dancing this piece in its entirety. : (
Brilliant! Renee Robinson...smh...i wish Donna Wood was here. She's my second fav performer of this piece.
Me too for Donna Wood! I'm quite surprised I love Miss Jamison's first too
God BLESS
Nice

There go I & I; WE CRY. Tree B free decompressing as I surrender to being all of me. jTcOriginal. Nj-usa
I wish there were away to support this beauty after being inspired and moved by the power of these women. How do we "pay" for our tickets? I'd buy a ticket for sure. How to do that now. They need to eat... they are professionals....

Thanks so much. If you'd like to support the Ailey company, we invite you to contribute to our "Still, We Dance" campaign: www.alvinailey.org/support/still-we-dance
.. how many floors must we clean .. ? .. how many, Lord?
Beautiful and poignant
This piece deserves someone of Ciara's caliber to really bring it to life.
Magnificent!
AMAZING!
