Auditorium

The Ailey II Dance Company merges the spirit
and energy of the country’s best young dance talent with the passion
and creative vision of today’s most outstanding emerging
choreographers. Under the direction of Sylvia Waters, Ailey II
invigorates the American dance scene by offering unique
opportunities for artists. Ailey II members, who have each completed
advanced programs at The Ailey School, refine their technique while
gaining invaluable performing and teaching experience during their
tenure with the Company (usually two years). Throughout its history,
more than 50 Ailey II members have been selected to join the Alvin
Ailey American Dance Theater. Many others have gone on to pursue
successful careers as dancers, teachers, and choreographers with
other professional dance companies on Broadway and in schools
throughout the country. The Company has received numerous honors,
awards and proclamations in recognition of its community outreach
programs.
Showcasing the talent of the country’s best
young dancers, Ailey’s critically acclaimed junior company brings
exciting dance and innovative outreach programs to diverse
communities throughout the country. In April of 2003, The New York
Times said, "Ailey II can be counted on to deliver high-energy
dancing made even more electric by the push of youthful ambition."
Tickets for the March 31 performance are $12.00 for adults and
$10.00 for students and senior citizens (55 years and older).
Georgia College & State University students are admitted with their
Bobcat ID card.
