What do you do when you turn thirty and you are in the middle of a global pandemic? Some people might mourn the end of their youth, while others are excited about becoming full-fledged adults. Some would throw up their hands at a public health crisis that has stopped all live performances, while others would move full force into the virtual space.
Friday Night Spotlights is our series of digital performances that bring some of Miami City Ballet’s most beloved productions straight into your living room and into your hearts.
Until we can safely return to our theaters, Friday Night Spotlights helps stay connected to you during these challenging times, and helps us to provide joy, inspiration, comfort, and healing.
Please consider a contribution to MCB’s Dancer Support Fund that will help keep the power of dance alive and support our dancers and artistic staff.

During this time of confinement, Eriberto Jimenez, artistic director of the Cuban Classical Ballet of Miami, tried to maintain a virtual class every day at 10:30 am so that the dancers not only of this company could keep trained. “Rebuilding Together” is a small sample of the individual work of each artist, which we are showing separately, as a preamble to the final result where they all come together in one piece, through the music originally created with the arrangements of the pianist Isaac Rodríguez.
