Why see Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater?
Celebrating 60 Years!
Designated by Congress as 'a vital American cultural ambassador to the world', it's been over 60 years since Alvin Ailey and his group of African-American dancers performed for the very first time at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Since then, they've established themselves as one of the most eclectic and diverse dance companies in America.
Helmed by Robert Battle since 2011, who has has been praised by The New York Times for having 'injected the company with new life', the company's 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.

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

Exhilirating & Inspiring
This was my first experience of an Alvin Ailey performance and I was thrilled and amazed at the talent, energy and overall professionalism of the performers. The dancers exhibit focus and excellence in
their roles and I found it to be a wonderful event that, two weeks later, is still running through my mind. In addition, the musical selections enhanced the overall experience perfectly. For those
complaining about price, there is no argument that this is money well spent. I
have made a resolution to attend future performances whenever possible. ... Read more
