Miami City Ballet (MCB) is pleased to present its 2021 Spring Season. Dedicated as a love letter to the community, the 35th anniversary season offers a series of seven pop-up performances running January 30 to February 21, 2021 that celebrates the vibrant neighborhoods and iconic destinations that put the magic into this global City we call home. Supported in partnership with numerous business and civic leaders, these ephemeral To Miami, With Love pop-ups are choreographed and performed by MCB company dancers. Each headlining work is site specific, inspired by the surrounding environment and the unique cultural tapestry of the location.

“Our 35th anniversary season remains dedicated as a love letter to the community. When the pandemic struck, we recognized immediately how much our communities needed the healing power of the arts and the hope they elicit" says MCB Artistic Director Lourdes Lopez.“Our pop-ups and digital season also show just how organically Miami City Ballet is connected to our city, our environment, our neighborhoods, and our audiences–all of which inspire us every day to create memorable moments of beauty, hope and inspiration,in everything we do.”

To Miami, With Love begins Saturday, January 30 at approximately 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the place where MCB first began its ascent to becoming one of the country’s most renowned ballet companies–Lincoln Road, Miami Beach–featuring headline choreography by MCB dancer Cameron Catazaro and special musical accompaniment by musicians from the New World Symphony. From there, MCB dancers will pop-up at multiple locations throughout South Florida!
