Revelations is arguably the greatest dance work in the history of American art.

I'm not remotely religious, but Revelations is the most moving and spiritual piece of performance art I've ever seen. Alvin Ailey usually tours California sometime near my birthday, and seeing them was the gift I always gave myself. I hope all their amazing dancers are healthy and safe.

You might not be remotely religious in the classic sense; but I figure anyone who responds to this mightiest of art works is coming from a place very suitable to my God. I stopped worrying about dogma a long time ago. It's also my notion that God, looking on the heart, is just as pleased with a secular agnostic or atheist with a good heart. That's all that really matters, and a lotta people gonna wake up surprised when they cross Jordan.

May the Heavenly Father 🔱 in the name of Jesus 👑 continue to bless the Alvin Ailey dancers who are still dancing for the Lord 👑 and those Alvin Ailey dancers who have retired. I like Matthew Rushing and Dudley Williams dancing to this dance piece. May the Lord 👑 rest Alvin Ailey's soul. The Lord 👑 really used Alvin Ailey to bring out the old Southern Baptist churches that my grandmother, when she was alive used to talk about. I'm a Seventh Day Adventist now, but I will never forget what I was taught. When my mother was alive, my daughter when she was little, and myself was blessed to see the Alvin Ailey dancers doing Revelations.

Wow -- thrilling. What a great idea to stage the dance in the settings that the choreographer grew up in. But even more than that, they are the settings of regular people in their day to day lives -- So much meaning in that. I love it. Thank you. And great work by Matt Rushing and the singers. Fabulous!

Wooo! I was not ready for all of this. He can dance his tail off. The dance was poetic. And the singers were outstanding. They were looking at him dance to their singing and it seemed as if they were being careful to catch all the nuances of his movement. This here is one fine poetic piece of art and I love it.

Oh-my-goodness- my wish come true! As a contemporary ballet lover I am thrilled that someone documented the perfection of Mr Rushing in this particular piece!! After seeing his performance live, everyone else that followed after lacked the magic combination of executing the movement in it's fullness and the artistic choice/feeling for the texture created by elongated movement and short, sudden freezing of the movement (well, everyone with always surprising exception of Mr Roberts that is a great storyteller and knows how to execute the movement fully and has a feeling for the texture). So perfect! So touching! Amazing singers! Those ladies are powerful. I do prefer the stage performance, though, because the camera should be still when a great dancer is performing. All those camera cuts are suitable for movies where actors can't dance. And with all that said, Mr Rushing looks great on camera and I love this short.
