Classes at Ailey

Real Classes for Real People at The Ailey Extension

By making dance accessible to everyone, The Ailey Extension embodies Mr. Ailey's legacy that dance comes from the people and should be given back to the people.  Whether you haven't taken a dance class in 20 years, take class regularly, or have never even danced a step, The Ailey Extension has dance and fitness classes designed especially for you.

In the words of our inspirational Artistic Director, Judith Jamison, "If you can get yourself in the door, you can take a class!"
