The FLORIDA DANCE FESTIVAL offers a unique series of performances by
regional and nationally renowned dance companies and individual artists
who gather throughout South Florida to bring their best work to light.
This month long event is sponsored by the Florida Dance Association
which also organizes local workshops for Florida dancers to train with
international guests. At these specialized Master Classes, professional
dancers, choreographers, dance instructors and students share their
passion for perfecting technique as they showcase innovations in
collaborative choreography.
Bringing dance to a wider audience is an integral component of the
Florida Dance Association which stages performances at the North Beach
performing arts center at the Byron Carlyle Theater, the Colony Theater
on South Beach and throughout Dade County. To capture the imagination of
local students, every form of dance from classical ballet to hip-hop
finds a place on the stage.
With ticket prices starting around $15, the Dance Festival hopes to
attract young people and seniors, dance enthusiasts and newcomers to the
magic of movement. Local dancers are encouraged to register early for
smaller enrichment courses so they can take advantage of more
individualized instruction and a high quality learning experience. Check
local listings for WinterFest Dance, danceABLE events at Tigertail
Productions and the Florida Dance Association website.
