Since its 1974 inception, Ailey II—the next generation of dance—has given early-career dancers the vital experience of transitioning from training as a student to becoming a professional dancer. Ailey II dancers bring their technical mastery and emotional depth to works by the most daring established and emerging choreographers. Just as Alvin Ailey envisioned, the company continues to expand the audience for dance through global touring and community-based performances.
This spring, Ailey II will bring its “off-the-charts-energy” to the Joyce during its New York season, performing new works including Renee I. McDonald’s intense Likes vs Life, Rena Butler’s athletically powered In Session, My’Kal Stromile’s endearing Third Person Point of View, and Chalvar Monteiro’s Berry Dreamin’ set to the music of the late Chuck Berry. The company will also perform Alvin Ailey’s beloved classic Streams.
