The Arsht Center is a first-class venue and Miami City Ballet gives an excellent performance no matter what the program is. This company generates so much energy and brings a high level of understanding and musicality to every show.Go more than once on your trip!

They are using "Pre-recorded music" now so there is no Orchestra. What a rip for 100$ a ticket. How sad is the day that a beautiful ballet co like the MCB uses tapes.

Thank you for your response. To clarify, Miami City Ballet does use live music for all of its repertory performances, unless a choreographer requests a taped version of a song. The company performs to taped music only for its productions of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed and hope that someday we will... More

This is a classically trained ballet company that also excels in contemporary dance (not modern). I have seen them many times and have always enjoyed them. They perform the standards by Balanchine but also use up and coming choreographers who are well chosen for their intricate dances. Go see them

What a dazzling performance! I especially enjoyed seeing a world premiere of Liam Scarlett's "Euphotic" which was a perfect injection of freshness and the new mixed with classic rep (also done very freshly) such as "Don Quixote" and "Divertimento No 15."

If you like dance you will love Miami City Ballet! An outstanding company performing at the Arscht Center. In addition, they have 4 informal programs each year at the school. We have signed up for the upcoming 2012-13 season and can't wait for another year of fabulous dance.

The Miami City Ballet is arguably one of the very best ballet companies in the United States. In addition to their main performances at the Arscht Center for the Performing Arts, they also present informal programs at the school in Miami Beach. Don't miss seeing the wonderful company!

Long time ago I went to a Miami Ballet and it was very amateur and kind of funny/sad. Now days they are serious group and I warmly recommend their program.
