Alvin Ailey believed that “dance is for everybody.” He dedicated his company to serve not only as performers, but as teachers and role models to tens of thousands of children each year. Since its founding in 1958, the Ailey organization has honored this commitment to bring dance into the classrooms, communities, and lives of people throughout the world.

Ailey Arts In Education & Community Programs (AIE) represents a vital continuation of Alvin Ailey’s original vision. Since 1992, AIE has annually given over 100,000 young people from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to explore their creative potential while also imparting life skills such as teamwork and self-discipline.

The mission of AIE is to cultivate and energize youth and adults to take, make, and see dance. Through our school and community outreach programs, we inspire our audiences to explore their own creativity and experience the joy of dance.

AIE: TAKE. MAKE. SEE…DANCE!
