Abstract
This short overview includes recent results from the ALICE Collaboration on anisotropic flow of charged and identified particles in sqrt(sNN) = 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions. We also discuss charge dependent and event plane dependent azimuthal correlations that are important in tests of the chiral magnetic effect, as well as understanding the dynamics of the system evolution and hadronization process. Lastly, we present ALICE results obtained with a new technique, the event shape engineering, which allows to perform a physical analysis on events with very large or small flow.
