Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

An Ailey performance is always a special experience. From the moment the house lights dim until the jubilant curtain calls at the end of Revelations, a performance by the "phenomenal" and "electrifying" (TV host Tamron Hall) dancers of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will excite you, inspire you, and uplift you. Dance Magazine wrote, "the Ailey brand has remained synonymous with authenticity, artistic integrity, inclusive storytelling and culture of the highest quality" for decades. In what has become a beloved spring tradition, the company returns to Boston with classic works by Mr. Ailey, notable selections by other modern and contemporary choreographers, and new commissions that carry forward the founder's and the company's legacy and depict the many facets of Black American life, culture, and history.
