Dance

The season grand finale features Miami City Ballet’s extraordinary reimagining of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Balanchine’s captivating story ballet. Enter the undersea fantasy of magically entangled lovers, fairy royalty, magic spells, and happy-ever-afters in Shakespeare’s timeless tale of love.

 

Blending natural movement with complex patterns and rhythms, Paul Taylor Dance Company performs its signature masterwork of American dance, “Esplanade”. Set to the music of Bach’s Violin Concert No.2, this one-of-a kind, fearlessly experimental performance transforms the simplicity of ordinary actions such as walking, running, and skipping into an elaborate contemporary piece, capturing the true essence of modern dance. The full program will include two additional works to be announced. Don’t miss your chance to experience “America’s most magnificent dancing machine performing America’s most deeply communicative and wildly theatrical modern dance” (San Francisco Examiner).

An exciting sampling of classical ballet, including excerpts from Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Coppelia La Fille Mal Gardee and the premiere of Prince of Igor, performed by the up-and-coming Stars of Tomorrow who comprise Ballet Etudes of South Florida's youth company. This performance series is sponsored by Miami-Dade County's YAM (Youth Arts Miami) Grant.

A night of Flamenco dance and song.
