For over 50 years, Ailey II: The Next Generation of Dance has merged the spirit and energy of the country’s finest early-career dance talent with the passion and creative vision of today’s most outstanding and emerging choreographers.

Founded by Alvin Ailey in 1974, this universally renowned company embodies Ailey’s pioneering mission to establish an extended cultural community that provides dance performances, training and community programs for all people.

Under the leadership of Sylvia Waters, who served as artistic director for 38 seasons, Ailey II grew into one of the most popular modern dance companies, combining a rigorous touring schedule with extensive community outreach programs.

Today, artistic director Francesca Harper brings fresh perspectives to Ailey’s legacy while nurturing new creative voices and propelling the company forward.
