The Ailey Experience workshops are designed to expand on Alvin Ailey's life-long commitment to bring dance back to the people by providing young dancers of all experience levels the opportunity to study with leading Ailey instructors and former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater company members in their hometown. Students will train in a variety of techniques while learning the rich history of Ailey’s signature style and how he changed the perception of American modern dance.
No dance experience or audition is required—all levels are welcomed!
