WATCH: This dance tribute to ‘Moonlight’ is absolutely stunning
The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has teamed up with Nowness to produce a dance tribute to the 2016 indie hit Moonlight, and they’ve knocked it out of the park.
The dance company, founded in 1958 by dance icon Alvin Ailey, worked with Moonlight’s composer, Nicholas Britell, to create the piece. The school’s artistic director Robert Battle choreographed, and it features dancers Jamar Roberts, Christopher Taylor and Jeremy T. Villas portraying three phases of one man’s life.
