ABOUT ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER
America’s most popular modern dance company, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will expand on its choreographic tradition, introducing new choreographers to the repertory with world premieres and bringing back beloved classics that illustrate the breadth of the company’s rich catalog, including Alvin Ailey’s signature work Revelations. When Ailey and a small group of African American dancers took the stage on March 30, 1958, at New York City’s 92nd Street Y, the engagement was for one night only, but it turned out to be the start of a new era in the arts, launching a revolutionary company that transcends barriers and celebrates the African American cultural experience. Alvin Ailey became one of the trailblazers of modern dance, and the work of his company grew to encompass education, community outreach and cultural diplomacy. For 65 years, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has showcased the work of diverse choreographers, amplifying a myriad of voices alongside Ailey’s own.
