Ailey II Dance Troupe to Perform at Homewood

The acclaimed dance troupe Ailey II will perform at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 5, in Homewood's Shriver Hall.

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 — part of Family Weekend on the Homewood campus — Ailey II plans to primarily perform choreography by Alvin Ailey.

Tickets in advance are $26 for general admission; $24 senior citizens and JHU faculty, staff and parents; $22 for full-time Johns Hopkins students with ID. Any remaining tickets will be available for purchase at the door for an additional $2 per ticket. To order tickets or for more information, call the Office of Special Events at 443-287-9900.
