Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (AAADT), formerly Alvin Ailey Dance Theater (AADT), is as of 2024 the largest modern dance company in the United States. Based in New York City, the company was founded in 1958 as Alvin Ailey and Company by choreographer, dancer, and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Alvin Ailey (1931–1989). In 1959, Ailey also co-founded the Clark Center for the Performing Arts, a studio and performance space where AADT practiced and performed, which closed in 1989. In 2014, Clark Center NYC was established by former faculty and students to honour the legacy of the Clark Center.
