ABSTRACT
The Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble is one of the most promising components of the American Dance Center, the official school of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. The Repertory Ensemble was established in the fall of 1974. Since its inception, it has been very successful in serving its dual functions as both an arena for performance exposure for twelve promising students and a vehicle through which new audiences throughout the country can be exposed to dance.
