Ailey® Trio
Ailey Trio is an engaging 50-minute presentation
with three dancers from the internationally acclaimed
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater performing
brief excerpts from its current repertory.
The presentation is an exciting blend of
lecture, class, and informal performance,
designed to provide an appealing experience
that focuses on the importance of commitment,
responsiblity and integrity, excercise and physical fitness,
and what it takes to realize dreams.
These three dancers give up their vacation time
to come to Kansas City and empower young people.
The program’s goals are to continue KCFAA’s mission
of extending modern dance into the community,
using the art form to allow students’ to participate
actively in the learning experience, and to elevate
student's awareness of the many career choices
available through the arts.
