Jordan-Matthews dancers experience the pinnacle of modern dance with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, a performance that’s part of the dance company’s 2024 international tour and offered by Carolina Performing Arts at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

For 65 years, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has showcased the work of diverse choreographers, amplifying a multitude of voices alongside Mr. Ailey’s own. During this milestone anniversary season, America’s most popular modern dance company returns to Carolina with a plan to expand on that tradition. On this visit, the long-time CPA partner will introduce new choreographers to the repertory, pairing their work with Ailey classics that illustrate the immense range of Mr. Ailey’s rich catalog.

Thanks to JMArts contributors, this experience is provided free of charge to more than 25 Jordan-Matthews Dance 2 students.
