On Saturday, Nov. 19, Miami City Ballet kicks of its Share
the Dance Community Outreach series of Ballet For Young People (BFYP) programming with an outdoor performance by the MCB School Ensemble in the City of Doral’s Downtown Park at 6:00pm. Thanks to the City of Doral, this family-friendly performance is free and open to the public.
On the program is the delightful “Carnival of the Animals: The Swansong” featuring the humorous music of Camille Saint-Saëns and a colorful cast of dancing animals, choreographed by MCB School faculty members Rafael Maldonado-Lopez and Geta Constantinescu. Throughout the performance, the audience will get an interactive look at the storyline of the ballet and learn about the movements of
dance.
This is the first of many performances of MCB’s signature community outreach program during its 2016-17 season. The goal of BFYP is to broaden MCB’s audience base and expose kids to the world of ballet. Most BFYP performances are specifically held for school children in the tri-county area, although a few are open to the public. Last year, over 6,000 schoolkids were able to attend BFYP performances.
