Dance

We are excited to open up our studios to the general public to give you a sneak peak of what we are working on in the studio before each of our productions! Our in-studio encounters will take place on select dates throughout the season at 11:30am during our dancers regular rehearsal time. During these open rehearsals you will get to see the rehearsal process first-hand, watching our dancers up close and from a different perspective. You will have the opportunity to meet our dancers and ask some questions about their experiences or life in-general, whilst enjoying some light refreshments! We hope this unique experience will give you the chance to learn more about our dancers and their backgrounds, gain an understanding of what the day-to-day life of a professional ballet dancer looks like and strengthen the relationship between our performers and our patrons.

This high-octane program celebrates the magnetic style of Tony Award-winning choreographer Justin Peck—where ballet meets pop, pattern, and pulse. In Year of the Rabbit sweeping ensembles create a kaleidoscope of movement, set to Sufjan Stevens’ electrifying score. Chutes and Ladders, a playful duet created for MCB, reveals the music’s inner rhythms through crisp, inventive choreography. And Heatscape—Peck’s love letter to Miami’s Wynwood District—bursts with color, speed, and the heat of a flirtatious chase, set against a bold backdrop by artist Shepard Fairey. Stylish, kinetic, and unmistakably Miami—this program moves.
