The Ailey Extension embodies Mr. Ailey's legacy that dance comes from the people and that it should be given back to the people by making dance accessible to everyone. Whether you haven't taken a dance class in 20 years, take class regularly, or have never 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!"
