00:00 The Edinburgh International Festival, over seven decades, we have been at the forefront of presenting
00:05 international artists in front of this great city's audiences.
00:09 We are creating an opportunity for 25 dancers.
00:13 They will be performing side by side with the dancers of the preeminent modern dance company in the world.
00:19 The chance to work with Alvin Ailey Company and be on the same stage is just really phenomenal.
00:23 It is like a perfect pinch me moment, like you do just think like wow, I'm really doing this.
00:27 They will be rehearsing for two weeks, only two weeks to learn the piece.
00:32 Every day I'm sweating buckets, I'm exhausted and like I feel the work.
00:36 I feel like I've improved so much.
00:39 We're learning from such experienced people all the way from New York City.
00:43 They're just on the cusp of stepping out professionally and so you know the world is wide open before them.
