Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater at Paramount Theatre Seattle

If you want to experience compelling stories and points in history through the art of dance, you should really check out Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (AAADT). The New York City-based dance company has a long history of groundbreaking showcases. For over six decades, the company has entertained fans with captivating choreographies, incredible movements and expressions, and pure passion. The dancers of AAADT all possessed skills, intensity, and love for dance – you’ll see it clearly when you witness one of their presentations.

Founded in 1958, African American dancer Alvin Ailey founded the company with the hope of providing African American dancers a space to practice and nurture their art. Being a gay man from Texas, not many opportunities were given to him. Wanting to practice and hone various dance genres, such as modern, jazz, ballet, and theater, Ailey traveled to New York City. After establishing his dance company, Alvin Ailey choreographed some unique masterpieces like Revelations, Blues Suite, Ode and Homage, Labyrinth, and countless more. Many of his works are still being performed today.

This upcoming season, AAADT continues Alvin Ailey’s legacy by presenting an enriching plethora of performances. The traveling group will make its way across North America following their European and Israel tour and present a mix of masterpieces. Some were choreographed by Alvin Ailey himself, while other performances feature the works of the companies’ esteemed choreographers. Whatever AAADT shows you come across, it will surely be a wonderful experience filled with the same passion and intensity Ailey had during his prime. His legacy lives on thanks to AAADT’s current creative team and artistic director.
