Alvin Ailey Jr. (January 5, 1931 December 1, 1989) was an African-American choreographer and activist who founded the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York. Ailey is credited with popularizing modern dance and revolutionizing African-American participation in 20th century concert dance. His company gained the nickname "Cultural Ambassador to the World" because of its extensive international touring. Ailey's choreographic masterpiece Revelations is believed to be the best-known and most often seen modern dance performance.

Ailey formed his own group, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, in 1957. The group presented its inaugural concert on March 30, 1958.
