Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre are touring the UK this autumn in Sept and Oct. Venues include London (Sadler's Wells), Plymouth, Birmingham, Bradford, Nottingham, Cardiff, Salford, Southampton, Canterbury and Edinburgh. 

 

They are doing two weeks in London (three separate programmes) but just two days at each of the other venues. 

 

It's a Dance Consortium presentation. (They indicate there will be a 2017 UK tour for Danza Contemporanea de Cuba).

And I've just had a reminder through from Picturehouses about the cinema showing on Monday ...

Not worth starting another thread, but I'm glad to see from this week's Links that Clifton Brown is rejoining the company:
