In the Company of Dancers & Friends Held to Celebrate Miami City Ballet’s Manhattan Debut

In the Company of Dancers & Friends Held to Celebrate Miami City Ballet’s Manhattan Debut at New York City Center.

To celebrate Edward Villella’s tremendous influence on the dance world as well as Miami City Ballet’s Manhattan Debut at New York City Center, a special luncheon called In the Company of Dancers & Friends, was held to honor Edward Villella, Founding Artistic Director and CEO of Miami City Ballet. The featured guest speaker was Robert Gottlieb, and several renowned artists were in attendance, including Chita Rivera, Allegra Kent, Jacques D’Ambroise, Heather Watts, and Damian Woetzel.
Lewis Fomon was the Chairman of the event. Miami City Ballet performed six performances recently at New York City Center to much critical acclaim. The company is under the Artistic Direction of Edward Villella since its founding in 1986 and is among the largest ballet companies in the United States. The company has four home-counties in South Florida: Broward, Miami - Dade, Palm Beach and Collier, where MCB is the resident ballet company of the Naples Philharmonic Center. MCB tours extensively across the Untied States and Internationally. Its Miami City Ballet School, opened in 1993, trains students for a professional career in ballet, and its education program reaches thousands of young people annually.
