News Release
The acclaimed dance troupe Ailey II will perform at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 5, in Shriver Hall Auditorium on the Homewood campus of The Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N. Charles St. in Baltimore. Showcasing the talent of some of America's best young dancers, Ailey II is the junior company of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Dancers typically spend two years in the troupe, gaining performing experience and improving their skills with the guidance of artistic director Sylvia Waters. Many Ailey II dancers are chosen to join the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and many more go on to be successful dancers, teachers and choreographers. Outreach is central to Ailey II's mission and the troupe has received numerous honors for its performances at schools and for community groups throughout the country. For its Shriver Hall appearance, Ailey II plans to primarily perform choreography by Alvin Ailey. Its current national tour is sponsored by MetLife Foundation.
