The Alvin Ailey Field Trip at the Fox Theater provides an insight into an intensive arts education program that brings dance into school classrooms and connects the study of dance to math curricula via time, space and their proportional relationship. Dance movement includes all sorts of combinations of circles and lines. As the dancers move through space, notice the arcs, circles, 360 degree turns, 180 degree scales, horizontal leaps, and vertical jumps. Students get a glimpse of Geometry patterns in motion, Algebra problem solving skills with the changing of the set designs, seating arrangements, and ticket sales.

I enjoyed the Alvin ailey field trip at the fox theatrr.it was very educational in the way that they had to be precisely on time with their moves or they might fall or run into each other
The Alivin ailey dancers are truely talented.Their dancing had so much feeling as was truely inspiring. I hope to see them soon considering the show was not only entertaining but it was also telling a story.It's amazing how someone can connect such beautiful dance with a black history moment.
In closing the Alivin Ailey dancers did an outstanding job and i hope to see them again. :)
