Going to an Alvin Ailey Performance

On December twelth, I went to an Alvin Ailey performance and took a Horton class at the Ailey Headquarters. This was a great afternoon because I got to first experience the Horton technique within my body and then I got to watch a performance when the Horton technique is rampantly used. I personally noticed that the Horton technique includes a lot of laterals and flat backs. That was the major difference that I noticed between The Horton technique and the O'Donnell technique (the technique that I study at my dance school).
This was a great segway into researching Alvin Ailey and the Horton technique so I will be researching them next.
