Why see Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater?
Holiday Special
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. Catch the esteemed company live at the New York City Center this holiday season, as they present a program of favorites past and present, celebrating legacy and lineage.
Under the interim Artistic Director Matthew Rushing before Alicia Graf Mack takes up the baton in July 2025, 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.

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
