Dance Consortium presents
Alvin Ailey Amercian Dance Theater
One of the world’s favourite dance companies, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is coming back to the UK for what promises to be another sell-out tour. Celebrating more than 50 years of unparalleled artistry, Ailey’s trademark technical brilliance and passionate energy bring audiences everywhere to their feet every night.
What makes this phenomenal company so special is the incomparable sense of joy, freedom and spirit which both the audience and dancers share together. Alongside this is their exciting repertoire of breath-taking new productions and beloved Ailey classics, including the jubilant, soul-stirring signature piece, Revelations.
Under the Artistic Direction of Judith Jamison, who is celebrating her 20th anniversary this year, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has become America’s cultural ambassador to the world, promoting the uniqueness of the African-American cultural experience and the preservation and enrichment of the American modern dance tradition.

“Each work is cheered from its first musical notes; every curtain call prompts a hollering, whistling standing ovation.” – The Washington Post
