Founded by the late Alvin Ailey and the Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey in 1989, the camp is celebrating its twentieth year of using dance as an instrument from which youth not only learn to move better, but also to feel better about who they are.
The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County partnered with the AileyCamp to bring the renowned summer program to the center, its first time in Miami.
