Arts Ballet In-Studio Encounters

Professional ballet rehearsals open to the public for a behind-the-scenes look at how dancers prepare upcoming productions at Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida. The in-studio encounter takes place Thursday, September 24, giving visitors the opportunity to observe company dancers during a regular rehearsal and see the process of refining choreography, technique and ensemble work at close range.

The program also includes an informal meet-and-greet with the dancers, with time for questions about their training, performance experiences and day-to-day life in a professional ballet company. Light refreshments are provided.

Presented on select dates throughout the season, the In-Studio Encounters series is designed to give audiences a closer view of the rehearsal process before Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida productions reach the stage.

Founded in 1997 by artistic director and choreographer Vladimir Issaev, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida is entering its 29th season with an internationally diverse company performing classical, neoclassical and contemporary repertoire.
