Thank you for joining us at Ailey Citigroup Theater. We can't wait to welcome you back soon.
See Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater perform at the BAAND Festival at Lincoln Center, July 25-29, 2023.
Ailey II—the next generation of dance—is universally renowned for merging the spirit and energy of the country’s best early-career dance talent with the passion and creative vision of today’s outstanding and emerging choreographers. Catch the company in action as they return home for two weeks only for their New York Season at the Ailey Citigroup Theater, March 22-April 2.
Bringing their “off-the-charts-energy” (The New Yorker) to the stage, the company will perform two stunning programs this season, featuring choreography by Ailey II Artistic Director Francesca Harper, Ailey Artistic Director Robert Battle, William Forsythe, Andrea Miller, Elizabeth Roxas-Dobrish, and Alvin Ailey.
See why The New York Times says, “There’s nothing like an evening spent with Ailey II. Clearly the future is theirs.”
