Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is the African-American dance company that popularized modern dance around the world.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (AAADT) is one of New York City’s big three dance companies along with New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theater. One normally hesitates to mix modern dance with ballet, but AAADT is that good.

Revelations

Alvin Ailey’s “Revelations” (1960) is the company’s signature masterpiece. It’s a reflection of Ailey’s childhood memories of attending Mount Olive Baptist Church near Fort Worth, Texas. The piece eloquently expresses that life is a mix of joy and pain, but always tempered with hope.
