I hae been going to the alvin ailey theater with my children since the 70′s. We love them. Although they live in Israel, they will never forget how twice a year we went to see our favorite dance company at City Center. I now have a subscription to the Joyce theater and see other companies. I have taken modern and jazz dance for 25 years b/c of the Ailey company. kudos to Judith!!!!
