Loved the October 25 matinee performance of Romeo & Juliet. Carlos and Jennifer were tremendous!
I have been a fan of theirs for several years. Looking forward to seeing them again. And the orchestra was wonderful! !

Horrible, horrible experience at the Broward Center performance on Sunday afternoon March 1 - frankly shocked that the conductor didn t halt the performance and raise the house lights! This ridiculous practice of allowing VERY LATE arrivals to continue entering the venue throughout the entire first section (i.e. Rodeo ) destroyed and marred what could otherwise have been a dazzling experience. People jostling about, talking loudly, cell phones still making noise, annoyingly bright flashlights wielded by ushers in our faces - all these are situations that would be rectified if Latecomers were made to wait until the first intermission. If you have special needs then you should allow EXTRA TIME so you can get yourself situated instead of ruining a performance for scores of other paying attendees.

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.

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.) And to confirm what I've just said, recently there was a Balanchine festival at City Center in New York City. Miami City Ballet, founded by Toby Lerner Ansin in 1985, was invited along with the Kirov, the Paris, The Royal Ballet, New York City Ballet, and the San Francisco Ballet. They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. The same goes for ballet companies. Remember the advertising for Lay's potato chiP? Betcha can't eat one? See one of their performances, and betcha can't stop with one.

just had big issue again with the ticket of the final show of my daughter ... terrible customer service terrible attitude on the phone. I paid and never receive my ticket. and they can not find anything... horrible service. and they were happy to tell me that if I don t have ticket in my hand i can not see my daugter dancing for the final show.... they treat you like "sh....t". some of the teachers are good but everything around is a disaster. I will not recommand this school . It was maybe good in the past but now stay away plus there is no parking a nightmare.

Update may 29 : I talk with the director , and she was aware about this issue other people were complaining about the rudeness of the team , like my situation... and they also loose ticket!!!
