We present the first ever Barbie doll to be inspired by a dance company: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Barbie doll. Designed by Artistic Director Judith Jamison

    As Judith Jamison artistic director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre prepares for departure, the Ailey foundation have joined forces with the notorious toy makers of Barbie to create a doll commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.  This Barbie doll reflects the famed beauty and grace of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and its world-class dancers. Taking the stage in a soaring leap and perfectly applied stage makeup, the doll is dressed in a flowing, white and lace costume worn in Wade in the Water from Alvin Ailey’s masterpiece Revelations.
