Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (Canceled)

Note: The Mondavi Center is sad to announce the cancellation of the 20-21 Season of live performances.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from a now-fabled performance in March 1958 at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African American modern dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of American dance.

The Ailey company has gone on to perform for an estimated 25 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six continents – and has reached millions more online and through television broadcasts. This long-awaited return to the Mondavi Center of an iconic American company will feature two performances, each featuring Ailey’s landmark work Revelations.
