Ailey II

Ailey II, the beloved second company to the world?s most popular dance company, is returning to the Alhambra Theatre on Sunday, October 30 for an unforgettable afternoon performance. Dance Magazine calls Ailey II "second to none," and The New York Times declares, "There's nothing like an evening spent with Ailey II, the younger version of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater." Ailey II is universally renowned for merging the spirit and energy of the country?s finest early-career dance talent with the passion and creative vision of today?s most outstanding emerging choreographers. Founded by Alvin Ailey, the company embodies his pioneering mission to establish an extended cultural community that provides dance performances, training, and community programs for all people. Since its 1974 inception, Ailey II has flourished into one of the most popular modern dance companies, combining a rigorous touring schedule with extensive community outreach programs.
