This is adance-related posted, yet again! I present you one of the greatest dance companies of our time: one that I very recently had the chance to see on stage, thanks to tarelle! This video contains 15sec-bits from one of their oldest-running show, choreographed by the founding father himself, Alvin Ailey. Unfortunately the quality of the picture is quite bad, but still, you can see how extraordinary these dancers are:
There are also two other videos, complete pieces and with better picture. Here is one and this is the second. I think these are not the best of the show (very subjectively put) but still breathtaking. I hope you like them! (The Parisian audience clapped hard enough to make them dance the finale three more times! By the end everybody was up on their feet dancing :) )

OK, it seems something happened with the plugins (when you arrive to work seeing that your computer has 25 users)...
But I was watching the photo for a long time thinking if its fake :D I'm afraid not. Nana?
I don't think it is fake, I have seen them do this kind of stuff...amazing. If you are without plugin, you can do a google image-search with the word "alvin ailey" you'll have plenty like this. For example:

It is definitely not fake, it is just amazing.
I have watched a TV report on their special Paris season... it is PulicG TV (with G for Gay): there are not so many Alvin Ailey vides on dailymotion, unfortunately... But this one is great video quality.
You can skip the first 1' 14". But then, beware of the magic!
