Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Beauty, grace, strength: these are the hallmarks of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. For more than six decades, the magnificent Ailey dancers have inspired us, touched our hearts, and invited us to joyously clap along with them as they take their curtain calls in the beloved Revelations.  

The Ailey company honors the legacy of African American cultural touchstones and brings us a world of contemporary dance through new commissions. 

Under the leadership of new Artistic Director Alicia Graf Mack, the company embarks on its next era, guided as ever by Alvin Ailey's pioneering legacy. Ailey will continue to break new ground, pushing the bounds of what the human body can do and what the huma spirit can achieve. 

The 2025/26 Dance Series is generously supported by
Leslie & Howard Appleby, Crescendo Donor Advised Fund,
and Royal Little Family Foundation.

These performances are made possible in part by support from Celebrity Series' Amy & Joshua Boger Innovation Fund.
