As the celebrated second company of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater of New York City, Ailey II has amazed audiences across the U.S. for more than 50 years. Ailey II’s performance at Wayne State is part of a 28-city tour that launched in October 2024 and ends in May, celebrating the life and legacy of beloved artistic director Emerita Judith Jamison. Repertory features two world premieres as well as a beloved classic.

Founded in 1974, Ailey II has advanced Alvin Ailey’s vision for more than five decades by giving early-career dancers a bridge from world-class training at The Ailey School to the professional stage. Led by artistic director Francesca Harper, dancers bring technical mastery and emotional depth to works by the most daring established and emerging choreographers.
