Founded by Alvin Ailey Jr. on the cusp of the American civil rights movement, this iconic modern dance company has been telling stories of social change since 1958.

This 65th anniversary tour brings some newly commissioned works, some reworkings of classic AAADT pieces, and as always, includes Revelations, the wildly moving 1960 masterpiece based on memories from Ailey’s childhood.

7:30 p.m., Tuesday-Wednesday, Jan. 30-31, Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $39.50-$125.
