Event Description

Ailey Experience workshops are designed to expand on Mr. Ailey’s life-long commitment to bringing dance to everyone. This workshop gives dancers the opportunity to study Hip-Hop, Horton Technique, and Ailey Classics with leading instructors and former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater company members. Participants will learn the rich history of Ailey’s signature style and how he changed the perception of American modern dance. 

Join us for special technique classes with live accompanists and an in-depth study of Alvin Ailey’s classics with masterpieces such as RevelationsBlues Suite, and Night Creature. These works feature classic blues, gospel, traditional spirituals, and jazz songs that are essential to Ailey’s work.

No experience necessary and all levels are welcome!

Catch Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater at the Auditorium Theatre March 4-8.
