We had the honor of DJing the Ailey Soirée, a celebration of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s 50th year performing at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University and 60th anniversary of the Alvin Ailey company. The company, originating in New York City, was led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African-American modern dancers to change forever the perception of American dance.
The evening started with their 2019 opening performance at the Auditorium Theatre. Following the performance, donors and “Revelations” Revelers joined the company at Venue Six10, just down the street from the Auditorium Theatre for the evening Soirée. We provided background music as the guests arrived, mingled and discussed the show. After a few speeches by distinguished honorees, we opened up the dance floor. There’s nothing like having a company of professional dancers to light up the dance floor, as it was packed and animated late into the night.
Check out a few of the pictures from the event below.
