On May 3, 2011, Ailey made a triumphant return to Harlem’s world-famous Apollo Theater for a one-night-only event which featured performances by artists of the world renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the dynamic young dancers from Ailey II and talented students of The Ailey School.
The benefit, honoring long-time board member Guido Goldman, raised funds for student scholarships to The Ailey School and the Ailey organization’s Arts In Education & Community Programs, including AileyCamp Washington Heights. Artistic Director Judith Jamison and Artistic Director Designate Robert Battle welcomed Honorary Chair Courtney B. Vance and 900 guests, including Loraine Boyle, Lyor Cohen, Tory Burch, R & B singer Miguel, Blythe Danner, Linda Fargo, Naeem & Ranjana Khan, David E. Monn, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, Debra Lee, Terry Lundgren, Henry McGee and Joan & Sandy Weill. Attendees danced the night away at the post performance party which featured music by DJ Ruckus and the shining lights of the Studio 54 mirror ball.
