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 train in 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 dance experience or audition is required—all levels are welcome! 


Ailey Experience tour students ages 11–21 who participate in both days will have the chance to win a scholarship to attend Ailey Experience NYC this summer at AILEY for free.

Ailey Experience New Orleans students will train in Horton, contemporary, and learn Ailey repertory with Ailey Extension Director Lisa Johnson-Willingham and other renowned instructors to be announced.

Schedule to be released soon.
