iBossWell (IBW) is proud to announce an engagement with Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey (KCFAA), whose mission is “making dance accessible to all people by presenting the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Ailey II, teaching young people critical life skills through dance, and modeling interracial and multi-cultural community partnerships.” IBW is supporting KCFAA in organizational development.
KCFAA solely presents Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Ailey II in annual performances in Kansas City theaters. As the only official second home of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, KCFAA supports the work, vision and future sustainability of Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation, Inc. through secured annual residencies, new work commissions and general efforts to advance the legacy of Alvin Ailey and support the leadership of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s Artistic Director Robert Battle.
KCFAA develops and delivers youth programming that uses the art of dance as a vehicle to improve knowledge, increase self-esteem, enhance critical thinking skills, and encourage positive role models and smart life choices. KCFAA reaches more than 25,000 people each year through year-round programs.
KCFAA encourages diversity of people and ideas through its organizational structure, uniting people across racial, ethnic and social barriers to promote awareness, respect, friendship, and ultimately, community-wide social change.
Thank you, KCFAA, for inspiring and changing lives, and uniting our community through dance!
