Founded by Alvin Ailey on March 30, 1958, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (AAADT) is one of the most acclaimed dance companies in the world. With a repertory that boasts close to 300 works by more than 100 choreographers, it has performed in more than 70 countries on six continents and has been designated a “vital American Cultural Ambassador to the World” by a U.S. Congressional resolution. Forged during a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement, AAADT was established to uplift the African American experience while transcending boundaries of race, faith and nationality with its universal humanity. As the company grew, Ailey invited dancers of all backgrounds to be a part of his vision while reimagining his company as a “library of dance,” a home for a wide range of choreographers’ works that might otherwise be lost—the first modern dance company of its kind. He expanded the global audience for dance with his visionary model and technically dazzling works.
Today, AAADT continues to bring joy and elation to audiences around the globe, while expanding its repertory with works by new choreographers and upholding Ailey’s legacy for future generations.
