In the videos below get a preview of Alvin Ailey's THE CALL!

Ailey's 60th Anniversary holiday season at New York City Center, November 28 - December 30, will elevate a legacy of innovation and excellence in artistry with premieres by some of today's most revered and prolific choreographers along with timeless treasures by Alvin Ailey. From Rennie Harris comes the Company's first two-act work, Lazarus, inspired by the life and legacy of Mr. Ailey and addressing the racial inequities our nation has faced, in 1958 when the company was founded and today.

Ronald K. Brown brings his rousing mix of modern and African dance to his latest world premiere, The Call. British powerhouse Wayne McGregor will thrill audiences once again with the Company premiere of his acclaimed contemporary ballet Kairos. Rising choreographer Jessica Lang's luminous work EN will return to the stage after its recent Lincoln Center premiere. The season also includes the long-awaited new production of Robert Battle's electrifying Juba, his first work for the Company created in 2003.
