Alvin Ailey® American Dance Theater
with special guest Sweet Honey in the Rock

Join the celebration as Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, America’s cultural ambassador to the world, marks its 50th anniversary of bringing African-American cultural expression and the American modern dance tradition to the world’s stages. The genius of Alvin Ailey changed forever the perception of American dance; today the legacy continues with Judith Jamison’s remarkable vision and the extraordinary artistry of the Company’s dancers. Beauty, spirit, hope and passion know no bounds. That is the power of Ailey. Performing live onstage with the incomparable Ailey dancers, the Grammy Award-winning a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock match their soulful harmonies and intricate rhythms to the powerful choreography of Ailey company veteran Hope Boykin.

“Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is a must-see company – you will never see so much verve, gusto and joyous energy on one stage.”
