“There’s nothing like an evening spent with Ailey II, the younger version of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.” – The New York Times
Hailed by Dance Magazine as “second to none,” Ailey II merges 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. Founded in 1974, the company embodies Alvin Ailey’s pioneering mission to establish an extended cultural community that provides performances, training and community programs for all people. With Artistic Director Francesca Harper at the helm, Ailey II continues to thrive as she brings a fresh dimension to this beloved company. Miami native Robert Battle, artistic director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater since 2011, also serves as artistic advisor for Ailey II and has set many of his own works on the company.

“Proverbial light bulbs of inspiration have gone off with enough frequency for Pilobolus over the past 48 years to make the troupe a household name.” – The Wall Street Journal
The remarkable company that secured a place in American culture in the early 1970s is still wowing audiences with its irresistible mix of wit, sensuality and physical acumen. Its program includes reimagined works for a never-before-seen Pilobolus experience, including, among other pieces, their newest work, “The Ballad,” created in collaboration with local Native American storyteller Darlene Kascak; the solo from “Empty Suitor,” a comedic choreographic masterpiece showcasing the humor of Pilobolus; and “Behind the Shadows,” where dancers spin, swivel and turn a screen to reveal both the amazing composite shadow figures as well as the technique that has made the company famous around the world.
