Don't miss Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City. This African American dance company popularized modern dance around the world.
In 1958, Alvin Ailey and a group of fellow black modern dancers staged what was supposed to be a one-time performance. Instead, it led to the birth to the critically acclaimed Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Ailey, the company’s founder, drew from the rich tradition of black music — blues and gospel — to shape his choreography. The company, which has performed in 71 countries for an estimated 25 million people, is celebrating 60 years. The company is known for its technical excellence, creative choreography, and stirring performances. Its current artistic director, Robert Battle, joins Morning Shift to talk about the company’s history and future as they celebrate their 60th anniversary.
