Alvin Ailey Workshop

_
The Dance Space LTD is proud to announce that our dancers have been selected to  dance at the world renowned Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre this upcoming Saturday. We have chosen 10 “performance troupe” dancers to participate in this workshop. Each dancer will be given the opportunity to take a 90 minute dance with an Alvin Ailey’s staff and a tour of breathtaking Ailey Studios, the home of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. We are very proud of our dancers! Great Job girls!

 

History:

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 23 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.
