THE late African-American dancer, choreographer and activist Alvin Ailey has left a great legacy — the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (AAADT).
It has been honouring black culture through dance since he founded the company in 1958, a time when racism was rife and many black dancers were denied opportunities to perform.
The company returns to Sadler’s Wells with new works split into three distinct programmes on different nights.
