The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater 2022 Fall Season is at its home theater, New York City Center.
The company is the legacy of Alvin Ailey, the legendary African American modern dancer and choreographer who found fame in New York. His company popularized modern dance around the world.
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is not a ballet company, but performs at the level of NYC’s famed ballet companies in every way. Many Ailey choreographies and performances have a powerful spiritual dimension derived from the African American experience.
