An evening of many moods and fine dance from Ailey 2
Pick of the evening was Robert Battle’s The Hunt. About the predatory side of human nature, it’s intense. Very intense.

Another show and more last-minute programme and cast changes with no apology given. But at least it meant we got to see Dancing Spirit again
“Alvin Ailey never misses.” Anna Pujol Castiblanque reports on a programme that includes Kyle Abraham’s new Are You in Your Feelings?
Ailey’s Modern Masters programme entertains. Unashamedly so. It’s easy on the eye. On the ear too. And the dancers are fabulous.
Overall, the modern pieces showcased the dancers’ skill, technique and emotional engagement somewhat better than the classical ones.
An super evening with the high spots being the clownery and of Kylián’s Sechs Tänze and the classicism of Wheeldon’s Within the Golden Hour.
Works from the recent past with broadcasts that have not been seen in decades
