Ailey II
Ailey II is universally renowned for merging the spirit and energy of the country's best young dance talent with the passion and creative vision of today's most outstanding emerging choreographers. Alvin Ailey personally appointed former Ailey member, Sylvia Waters, as Artistic Director in 1974. Under her direction, Ailey II has flourished into one of the most popular dance companies in the country, combining a rigorous touring schedule with extensive community outreach programs.
The 12 members of Ailey II are handpicked by Ms. Waters from the student body of The Ailey School. This junior company acts as a bridge between the School and the professional world, offering unique opportunities for young artists to refine their technique while gaining invaluable experience.
