About the Ailey Student Performance Group

The Ailey Student Performance Group wows audiences at venues throughout the Tri-State area, performing an exciting repertory of works from emerging and established choreographers. The dancers come from all corners of the world to train and perfect their craft in the Ailey style of dance, which incorporates multiple techniques, including ballet, Horton, Graham-based modern, jazz, West African, Dunham technique, and hip hop. Led by Rehearsal Director Freddie Moore, the dancers are given the opportunity to share Alvin Ailey’s vision through valuable professional performance experience.
