Miami may have rather a frivolous reputation as the world's fun & sun
capital, but each August many of the most prestigious ballet companies
make their way to our local stages as part of the INTERNATIONAL BALLET
FESTIVAL, imparting a profound cultural opportunity for dance fans and
local performers who can join in master classes with top professionals.
For the price of a ticket, audiences can see programs that would
otherwise require travel to the world's capitals as past participants
made their way here from Brazil, Chile, England, Germany, India and
Spain!
Under the dedicated direction of Pedro Pablo Peña, the Miami festival
includes five major performances at four regional theaters plus a dance
film series, a dance-themed art exhibit and local workshops and master
classes. Spanning Dade and Broward Counties, the month long event brings
hundreds of dancers to the stages at the Lehman Theater at Miami Dade
College, Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center, and South Beach's
Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason. The culmination of the festival is the
presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award which has already been
given to Marcia Haydee, Fernando Bujones, and Miami City Ballet's
Director Edward Villella.
Events for the seventeenth season of the International Ballet Festival
have not been announced but will be posted at the official website this
summer. If you are interested in attending a performance, the awards
gala or a local dance film screening at the Miami Beach Cinematheque,
advance tickets will be sold online at ticketmaster.com
