The Al Gilbert Timeless Collection

The Al Gilbert Timeless Collection preserves the only known video recordings of choreography created by Al Gilbert, whose work helped shape dance education for more than seven decades. Often referred to as “the Pied Piper of Dance,” Al Gilbert influenced generations of dancers and teachers worldwide through his teaching, musicality, and unwavering commitment to dance education.

Drawn from original master recordings, the Timeless Collection documents Al Gilbert as both teacher and choreographer—demonstrating, refining, and bringing his work to life. These recordings capture not only the choreography itself, but also the clarity, structure, and musical understanding that defined his approach to teaching.

Presented for the first time as a digital release, the Timeless Collection serves as both an educational resource and a historical archive, preserving a rare and irreplaceable body of work that continues to inform and inspire dance educators today.
