CU-Students Visit Philadelphia for a performance by the Alvin Ailey Dance Company

In recognition of Black and Women’s History Months, the Center for Access and Engagement and the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging sponsored a trip to Philadelphia to view a performance by the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. 

The Alvin Ailey Dance Company is a historic organization that uses dance and expressive traditions as a means of sharing the Black experience in America with audiences across the world.  

This co-curricular learning opportunity, which took place on Saturday, Feb. 28, provided CU students an opportunity to see a historic dance troupe first-hand and engage in meaningful and intentional conversations about the intersection of dance and expressive traditions and academic disciplines such as history, black studies, women studies, theology, musicology and sociology.
