The Ailey Spring Gala

The Ailey Spring Gala pays special homage to our nation’s capital – Washington, D.C. – for being the site of so much hope and promise, and where we, together as a people, strive for a better future. The free virtual event will feature premiere performances by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and students from The Ailey School, special guests Congressman James E. Clyburn and former First Lady Michelle Obama, special remarks from guest of honor Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian, and surprise celebrity appearances.
