Welcome to 2011! It’s a new year and a fresh start! The first few days of the year is about the time when most of us are starting on our New Year’s resolutions…and the MCB dancers are no different. Principal dancer Jennifer Kronenberg ventured into the theater with the Flip camera to find out what the rest of the dancers’ New Year’s resolutions are!
Happy New Year! And good luck with those resolutions!

Patricia Delgado’s snow series comes to an end as she uncovers the trick to getting those beautiful snow crowns on and talks to the dancers about their most memorable snow performances. Plus, she gives you a peek at the backstage action during the ever-so-special snow scene!
Although snow is unusual in our part of the country, MCB has the ability to make magical things happen! That’s why every Nutcracker season, it snows on the stage of four special theaters in South Florida.
Patricia Delgado, principal dancer and snow alumni, breaks through the blizzard to uncover all the secrets of George Balanchine’s snow scene in The Nutcracker. You don’t want to miss the first of this two-part snow series!

We are two weeks into our Nutcracker run, which started off in Naples on November 26. Leigh-Ann Esty took the Flip camera with her across Alligator Alley and gave us a glimpse into the backstage happening at the Naples Philharmonic Center.
MCB will perform George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker™ this weekend at Broward Center and December 17-19 & 21-23 at Adrienne Arsht Center.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at MCB!
