The
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from the now fabled performance
in March 1958, at the 92nd Street Young Men's Hebrew Association in New
York. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African-American modern
dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of American
dance. Today, led by Artistic Director, Judith Jamison, AAADT has gone
on to perform for an estimated 21 million people in 48 states and in 71
countries on six continents, including two historic residencies in
South Africa. The company has earned a reputation as one of the most
acclaimed international ambassadors of American culture, promoting the
uniqueness of the African-American cultural experience and the
preservation and enrichment of the American modern dance.
