Soul With Technique

It is an event to attend a Miami City Ballet (MCB) performance at the Adrienne Arsht Center. As the flagship dance institution in Miami, MCB delivers what is needed to entice, activate and excite an audience, which encompasses a flurry of diverse and eclectic people, from the socially conscious to the youthful dance student.

On Saturday night, the Arsht Center had a buzz of activity with gifts given in one room, patron gatherings in another, discussions about the past and the present — and an overall enthusiasm about what actions are possible: How the company will evolve, how MCB will lead the city of Miami, and how the dancers will grow under the caring and experienced guidance of Lourdes Lopez, now starting her third year as Artistic Director.
