Ailey II—the next generation of dance—has brought its technical mastery and emotional depth to works by the most daring established and emerging choreographers since its 1974 inception. This spring, the company brings its “off-the-charts-energy” (The New Yorker) to The Joyce during its New York season, performing new works including Renée I. McDonald’s intense Likes vs Life, Rena Butler’s athletically powered In Session, My’Kal Stromile’s endearing Third Person Point of View, and Chalvar Monteiro’s Berry Dreamin', set to the music of the late Chuck Berry. The company will also perform Alvin Ailey’s beloved classic, Streams. 

Ailey II embodies Alvin Ailey’s pioneering mission to establish an extended cultural community, providing dance performances, training, and programming for all.
