		<title>Open Barre&#8230;From Behind the Barre</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For us, inviting you to our Open Barre Dance Series is like inviting you into our living rooms. We perform in the very studio where we approach the barre each day to prepare for the rehearsals needed for every show MCB presents. This is where we dance, but also where we laugh, cry, sweat, stumble, persevere, create, and breathe as people, friends, and artists. ]]></description>

Here is an inside look at my ritualistic preparation process!]]></description>

		<title>A Look Back at 2011 With Tricia Albertson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, 2011, what a whirlwind of a year! There was no time to reflect, barely time to rehearse, yet, for me, just enough time for some of the most exciting and gratifying of MCB experiences.  The standouts for me were three particular ballets and one mind-blowing month in Paris.]]></description>

		<title>A Look Back at 2011 With Bradley Dunlap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been wonderful to be a dancer with Miami City Ballet in 2011.  We have had so much to enjoy.  From the premiere of Romeo and Juliet to working with choreographer Alexei Ratmansky, working at MCB has been very fulfilling.  The moments that stood out most to me this year were dancing in Paris and on national television.]]></description>

		<title>A Look Back at 2011 With Adriana Pierce</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Post by Adriana Pierce, Corps de Ballet

Endings create, and provide the necessity for, new beginnings. And new beginnings give clarity and meaning to those things that have ended. On the eve of this new year, the significance of many of my experiences in the past several months seems clearer than ever. My first full year [...]]]></description>
