Ailey Camp


Urban Gateways partners with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the Chicago Park District, and Chicago Public Schools in implementing an innovative summer dance program that serves inner-city children grades six to eight.

The camp provides youth with an invaluable opportunity to explore their creativity, learn to master their bodies, and strengthen their respect for themselves and others within a supportive framework that gives them an important foundation for the future. A combination of artistic and personal development classes are conducted for the students.

AileyCamp programs are implemented each summer in Berkeley, CA; Boston, MA; Bridgeport, CT; Chicago, IL; Kansas City, KS; and New York, NY.
