The Ailey Experience Tour provides dancers of all experience levels the opportunity to study with prominent Ailey instructors and former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater company dancers in their hometown.

Students will learn a variety of techniques while learning the rich history of Alvin Ailey’s signature style and how he changed the perception of American modern dance.

No audition is required—all levels and all ages are welcome!
