Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

“America’s most popular dance company” (The New Yorker) brings its passionate energy and dazzling technique back to BAM with a program of recent works and classic audience favorites, including Alvin Ailey’s must-see masterpiece Revelations. Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s first BAM performances. Today, under the leadership of artistic director Robert Battle, the company that changed American dance forever remains a vital force in New York City—and around the globe.
