We are back in performance mode this week, as we prepare for our Season Opening at the Kravis Center this weekend! First Ventures has been the perfect way to start the new season. From George Balanchine’s Serenade — the first ballet he created in America — to Christopher Wheeldon’s “edgy and electrifying Polyphonia“, as described by the Miami Herald, and Balanchine’s joyful, virtuoso Ballo della Regina, each ballet inspires a sense of excitement and anticipation for the rest of the season. To create lasting memories and capture our final performances of Program I: First Ventures on Instagram is corps de ballet dancer Suzette Logue!
We have had two fabulous weeks of images on Instagram by our guest photographers (dancers Leigh-Ann Esty and Nicole Stalker).
Next week, corps dancer Suzette Logue takes the reins!
Fun fact about Suzette: she’s a Florida girl!
Suzette grew up in Sarasota and has trained all across the Sunshine State, with institutions such as Sarasota Ballet, Tallahassee Ballet,
and Miami City Ballet School.
The 2011-2012 season opens with Program I on October 21 at Adrienne Arsht Center! With a world premiere by Liam Scarlett, two full-length classics, and the return of Opus One Orchestra, this season promises to be one of the best in MCB history! We’d like to congratulate our newly promoted dancers and welcome new faces to the troupe for this very exciting season.
