Alvin Ailey® American
Dance Theater
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from a now-fabled performance in 1958 in New York City, when Alvin Ailey and a group of young African-American modern dancers changed forever the perception of American dance. Today, led by Artistic Director Judith Jamison, AAADT has gone on to perform for an estimated 21 million people in 48 states and in 71 countries on six continents, including two historic residencies in South Africa, and has earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed international ambassadors of American culture, promoting the uniqueness of the African-American cultural experience and the preservation and enrichment of the American modern dance.
