There’s nothing like the thrill of discovering a new favorite artist or being the first to see new work by acclaimed choreographers. Ailey II gives you both: a company of 12 on-their-way-to-the-top dancers and a repertory that mixes modern dance masterpieces with premieres by emerging talents fresh out of the rehearsal room.
Handpicked by artistic director Troy Powell, the Ailey II dancers travel year-round to share their “off the charts energy” (The New Yorker) with audiences around the world – with a tour schedule unlike any other second company. See why Dance Magazine calls them “second to none” when they return home to New York City for two weeks of performances at the Ailey Citigroup Theater this spring.
See premieres by Juel D. Lane, Renee I. McDonald, and Darrell Grand Moultrie and returning audience favorites from last season by Jae Man Joo, Bridget L. Moore, and Marcus Jarrell Willis.
