Ailey II Dance
An American Artistic Icon

Hot young talent! Passionate creative vision!
Prepare for an extraordinary evening of extreme dancing, as the astonishing young dancers and brilliant emerging choreographers of Ailey II storm the Dana stage! Since 1974, Ailey II has brought mind-bending technique and outsized emotion to life in a uniquely American dance pioneered by the visionary Alvin Ailey. It was in the late 1950s that he revolutionized the form forever with a dynamic marriage of American jazz and blues with classical music, and opened the genre to African American dancers. Be a part of the excitement as Ailey II continues this bold tradition of dance as you've never seen it before!
