Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater April 9, 2010

Alvin Ailey's story is one of the most inspirational in the history of American performing arts, and his genius forever changed the perception of American dance.

For half a century, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has served as this country's dance ambassador, bringing African American cultural expression and the American modern dance tradition to the world's stages.

The legacy continues with Judith Jamison’s remarkable vision and the extraordinary artistry of the company’s beautiful dancers. The superb technique, passion and inimitable style that are the hallmarks of the Ailey tradition continue to dazzle audiences around the globe.

"...pure movement, pure magic..."
