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 human spirit can achieve.

This year’s two programs bring you the latest Ailey commissions and returning favorites. And every performance closes with the company’s powerful Revelations and its joyful finale. Two programs, seven works, countless moments of wonder: which ones speak to you?
