about

alvin ailey was born on january 5, 1931, in rogers, texas. his experiences of life in the rural south would later inspire some of his most memorable works. he was introduced to dance in los angeles by performances of the ballet russe de monte carlo and the katherine dunham dance company, and his formal dance training began with an introduction to lester horton’s classes by his friend carmen de lavallade. horton, the founder of one of the first racially-integrated dance companies in the united states, became a mentor for mr. ailey as he embarked on his professional career. after horton’s death in 1953, mr. ailey became director of the lester horton dance theater and began to choreograph his own works. in the 1950s and 60s, mr. ailey performed in four broadway shows, including house of flowers and jamaica.
in 1958, he founded alvin ailey american dance theater to carry out his vision of a company dedicated to enriching the american modern dance heritage and preserving the uniqueness of the african-american cultural experience. he established the alvin ailey american dance center (now the ailey school) in 1969 and formed the alvin ailey repertory ensemble (now ailey ii) in 1974. mr. ailey was a pioneer of programs promoting arts in education, particularly those benefiting underserved communities. throughout his lifetime, he was awarded numerous distinctions, including the kennedy center honor in 1988 in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to american culture. in 2014, he posthumously received the presidential medal of freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor, in recognition of his contributions and commitment to civil rights and dance in america. when mr. ailey died on december 1, 1989, the new york times said of him, “you didn’t need to have known [him] personally to have been touched by his humanity, enthusiasm, and exuberance and his courageous stand for multi-racial brotherhood.”

alvin ailey american dance theater grew from a now-fabled performance in march 1958 at the 92nd street y in new york city. led by alvin ailey and a group of young african-american modern dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of american dance.
the ailey company has gone on to perform for an estimated 25 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six continents – as well as millions more through television broadcasts, film screenings, and online platforms.
in 2008, a u.s. congressional resolution designated the company as “a vital american cultural ambassador to the world” that celebrates the uniqueness of the african-american cultural experience and the preservation and enrichment of the american modern dance heritage. when mr. ailey began creating dances, he drew upon his "blood memories" of texas, the blues, spirituals, and gospel as inspiration, which resulted in the creation of his most popular and critically acclaimed work, revelations. although he created 79 ballets over his lifetime, mr. ailey maintained that his company was not exclusively a repository for his own work.
today, the company continues mr. ailey's mission by presenting important works of the past and commissioning new ones. in all, more than 235 works by over 90 choreographers have been part of the ailey company’s repertory.
before his untimely death in 1989, alvin ailey named judith jamison as his successor, and over the next 21 years, she brought the company to unprecedented success. ms. jamison, in turn, personally selected robert battle to succeed her in 2011, and the new york times declared he “has injected the company with new life.”
