Celebrating over 65 years of unparalleled artistry, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre is one of the most acclaimed dance companies in the world.

From the beginning, Alvin Ailey envisioned a company dedicated to enriching the American modern dance heritage and preserving the uniqueness of the African American cultural experience.

Embarking on its next era under the leadership of new Artistic Director Alicia Graf Mack, the company continues to be guided by Alvin Ailey’s pioneering legacy. Expect daring new works that promise to propel dance in exhilarating new directions alongside timeless classics like the soul-stirring masterpiece, Revelations.
