We really enjoyed the Ailey II Dance Company's performance. There was variety in the type of dances and music that appealed to a broad audience of all ages. The dancers were passionate and very entertaining. We had excellent seats on the main floor near the center. The costumes were colorful and complimented the various genres performed.
