Upcoming Performances

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns to Washington, DC, for another brilliant season of dance that The New York Times calls “transfixing, pulsating, and galvanizing.” 

This season features world premieres by Hope Boykin, Lar Lubovitch, Jamar Roberts, and Interim Artistic Director Matthew Rushing; a new production of Elisa Monte’s sculptural Treading; the 25th anniversary of Ronald K. Brown’s blockbuster Grace; and Alvin Ailey’s timeless masterpiece Revelations. 

_{Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's 2025 tour is dedicated to the life and legacy of Artistic Director Emerita Judith Jamison (1943-2024).}
