Performer: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

An era has come to an end at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, its repertory in admirable shape, its dancers even more so. 

There is no modern dance troupe as likeable as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Their dancers are warm, exciting and beautiful to watch and they never fail to please audiences.

Five of the best-known dance companies based in New York City have united for a weeklong program every summer since COVID. This year they shared a stage but stuck to their own rep.
