The Whitney is proud to continue our partnership with Ailey Extension, which officially opened its doors on April 4, 2005, with a mission to make dance accessible to people of all backgrounds.
Join us as we commemorate their twentieth anniversary with free mini dance classes taught by Ailey instructors Judith McCarty, Quenia Ribeiro, and Matthew Johnson Harris. All ages and skill levels are welcome! Afterward, stay for a dance party on the Museum’s seventh floor, featuring DJ sets curated by music venue Public Records.
