Dance Magazine calls Ailey II “second to none,” and The New York Times declares, “There’s nothing like an evening spent with Ailey II, the younger version of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.” As a member of this prestigious company, Ms. Bergonzi will perform in cities across the globe, including a New York City engagement at the Ailey Citigroup Theater in the spring.We are so proud of everything Grace has accomplished and know that she will continue to soar among this talented and accomplished ensemble of dancers!
