Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre doesn’t perform at the Brooklyn Academy of Music as regularly as it does at City Center and Lincoln Center, but what it brings to Brooklyn is just as reliably impressive. The company returns to BAM, June 6-11, with two programs. One is a feel-good collection: Ronald K. Brown’s “Dancing Spirit,” which infuses its spirituality with some funk; Twyla Tharp’s “Roy’s Joys,” a jazz-based romp on the goofy side of carefree; and Kyle Abraham’s “Are You in Your Feelings?,” a pleasurable series of relationship vignettes set to R. & B. and hip-hop tracks. The other bill is all Ailey. It includes the recently revived “Survivors,” from 1986, a rage-fuelled tribute to the resilience of Nelson and Winnie Mandela, along with “Night Creature,” “Cry,” and, of course, “Revelations.”
