The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is celebrating 50 years of bringing beauty, spirit and passion to its audiences. The ground-breaking dance company has performed in over 70 countries on six continents changing the perception of American dance all over the world.

And dancers from the famed company stopped by to talk to us about a week-long engagement at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) from June 9 to June 14. They will also perform a special tribute piece for us called "Suite Otis."
