About the ballets:
Serenade
Balanchine / Tchaikovsky
Created in 1934, Balanchine’s iconic Serenade is heralded for launching a new direction in classical ballet, one veering away from storytelling to impassioned, plotless movement. Serenade is set to a spellbinding Tchaikovsky score. To experience it is to appreciate its lasting beauty and to cheer for what followed.

In the Upper Room
Tharp / Glass

Twyla Tharp’s 1986 sensation In the Upper Room is described by The New York Times as “a knockout work” that “shows you how well Ms. Tharp knew to build excitement.” Performed to a compelling Philip Glass score, the piece brilliantly combines a broad spectrum of movement into one vigorous vocabulary; boxing, tap dance, yoga, ballet and modern dance are intertwined.

World Premiere
Roberts / Adams

Jamar Roberts, a former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater artist and choreographer, returns to his native Miami for a highly anticipated and powerful new work.
