alvin ailey american dance teatro recursos

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is a uniquely American modern dance company known for its vibrant blend of modern, ballet, and other dance styles. Audience members will be treated to a captivating experience that will touch their hearts and inspire a greater appreciation for dance and the arts.

In the 1950s, dancer and choreographer Alvin Ailey envisioned a company where African-American dancers could display their talents and skills and express their experiences and heritage. He gathered a group of young African-American modern dancers, and they premiered their first performance in March 1958 at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. That now-fabled performance forever changed the perception of American dance with its expressiveness, technical prowess, and influences from African-American culture.

The Company’s early days were spent traveling on what Alvin Ailey called ‘the station wagon tours,’ where dancers were transported from performance to performance in a station wagon driven by one of Ailey’s friends. From these modest beginnings, Ailey has grown to be one of the foremost modern dance companies in the world. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is NJPAC’s principal resident dance affiliate.
