As a young boy in Navasota, Texas ,Alvin Ailey stomped his feet and clapped his hands as he sang alone with this mother and the True Vine Baptist church choir:
Rocka-my-soul in the brown of Abraham
Rocka-my-soul in the bosom of Abraham
Soon Alvin learned to dance. By drawing on his memories and the African-American culture, Alvin Ailey discovered his own special rhythms- a dance style that let his imagination whirl.
On January 31, 1960, Alvin Ailey premiered his modern dance masterpiece, Revelations, as the audience at the 92nd Street Y in New York City swayed in time to the music:
Rock-rock-rock
Rocka-my-soul
Ohhh, rocka-my-soul…
Alvin Ailey is the story of Alvin Ailey’s life-a life that left its imprint as much on the history of the American people as on the history of modern dance.
