What's Special about Ailey?
Ailey's Artistic Director Robert Battle discusses what Ailey looks for in a dancer - "You're looking for a dancer who has something to SAY"
The Impact of Ailey. "I think what's special about the Ailey company is that from the beginning it had a purpose beyond dancing" - Robert Battle, Artistic Director since July 2011
What can Ailey audiences expect? "You may not know much about Petipas, or you may not know much about ballet or swan lake, but if you come to Ailey, there's something you can connect to" - Matthew Rushing, Rehearsal Director and Guest Artist
