Ailey II
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.
Ailey II has spent more than 50 years pairing the country’s best early-career dancers with some of the most exciting choreographers working today, and on September 25 at 8 p.m. they’re bringing that combination to Mayo Performing Arts Center. Francesca Harper, who took over as Artistic Director in 2021, has been pushing the company into new creative territory while keeping Alvin Ailey’s original vision intact. Tickets run $45 to $91, and Mayo PAC is now using all-in pricing, so the number you see is the number you pay. No surprise fees to ruin your evening, which is more than we can say for most ticket-buying experiences.
