From the reviews
Miami city ballet in Miami Beach is a gift. This small city is lucky to have a center dedicated to the arts. Seeing as how the beach is mostly populated with hotels restaurants and apt buildings. The parking in the area isn’t easy but neither is ballet.
As one of the top three companies in the country, Miami City Ballet is a splendor beyond words and a must see for everyone. Amazing dancers... great people... the best artistic team and teachers anywhere. True poets of gesture.
This is not simply one of the most talented companies in the country, from its artistic director Lourdes Lopez, to its corp de ballet, it is recognized Internationally as one of the best ballet companies in the world. (With one of the best ballet schools in the world.
I do not typically write reviews, but I feel obliged. My family attended the Nutcracker at The Kravis Center in Palm Beach on Dec. 30, 2023 and I have to say it was the BEST performance of the Nutcracker I have ever seen.
Your first ballet class at Miami City Ballet
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
