Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

We kindly encourage guests to arrive early, as there will be a strict seating hold at the start of the show.

The iconic ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER returns to the Series for an annual showcase of the company’s extraordinary technique and emotive power, reaffirming their enduring importance in the American cultural landscape.  

Mr. Ailey’s choreography, rich in its dynamism and fluidity, showcases a breathtaking range of emotions and narratives, and new works created on the company by exciting contemporary choreographers explore the many facets of today’s Black American experience. 

More than a show, an Alvin Ailey performance is a beautiful journey that captivates and uplifts, leaving audiences profoundly moved. 

Connect with grace, beauty, faith, pride, strength, and joy when Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns to Boston.
