Why see Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater?
Over 60 Years Of Dance
Designated by Congress as 'a vital American cultural ambassador to the world', Alvin Ailey and his group of African-American dancers performed for the very first time in New York City way back in 1958. Since then, they've established themselves as one of the most eclectic and diverse dance companies in America. Today, the dance company is stronger than ever - and a national icon! Their tours are always packed full of premieres alongside returning favorites, offering a fantastic chance to enjoy the group once again.
Never seen Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater on stage? Their performances are a whirlwind of spectacularly choreographed dances, ballet and jazz side by side with the rumba. The subject of the pieces are uniquely African American ruminations on the grand sweep of history and our place within it.

It was a pleasure. ... Read more

MUST SEE EVENT FOR ALL AGES!!!
THIS WAS MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON'S BIRTHDAY GIFT... AND HE LOVED IT!!! HE ENJOYED CLAPPING HIS HANDS TO THE MUSIC, AND WAS CAPTIVATED BY THE DANCING AS HE SWAYED AND ROCKED HIS HEAD TO MANY OF THE SONGS THROUGHOUT THE PERFORMANCE!

WHAT AN AMAZING TIME WE HAD! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAY! ... Read more

Mesmerizing Performance
This was my second time experience Alvin Ailey Dancers. As before, over 10 years, it was a mesmerizing Performance. I was fully engaged experiencing laughter, tears, inspiration, exhilaration, and cultural stimulation. From Ailey Classics to his signature masterpiece "Revelations", it was simply excellent - a blessing from God through the dancers to all who witnessed this phenomenon. ... Read more
