ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER
In 1958, Alvin Ailey had a vision to create a dance company that would both revolutionize the art of dance and celebrate the uniqueness of black cultural expression. Today, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater leaps passionately into new artistic realms, fusing a rich past with the energy of the present.

The company’s vibrant, unmistakable style is evident throughout its varied repertoire, which includes new works by cutting-edge choreographers, as well as classics, revivals, and Alvin Ailey’s own inspiring works.
