On April 26, 1977, Studio 54 first opened its doors for partygoers of all backgrounds and lifestyles to partake in extravagant nights of dancing, music, and stardom. In honor of Studio 54’s opening anniversary, celebrate with this video by Alvin Ailey, whose Ailey School students headlined the evening’s grand opening.

Over four decades later, their dancers follow the dancing disco ball across our galleries to relive a moment of disco cheer. One day soon, we look forward for guests near and far to hustle on over to the Museum.⁠
