Ailey In Africa Part One: Outreach

As cultural ambassadors to the world, the Ailey company does more than perform on global stages, we go out in to communities to bring dance back to the people. In part one of this three-part documentary, ‘Ailey in Africa,’ the Ailey dancers went out into communities in South Africa to teach students of all ages and levels.
