And that’s the 2025/26 Season, wrapped. ✨

This incredibly celebratory 40th Anniversary Season happened so fast.

We performed 64 times in 8 different venues.
We toured California and New York.
We danced 25 ballets by 17 choreographers, including 7 new works and 2 company premieres.

But more than the numbers, this season was about the moments.

The standing ovations. The first notes from the orchestra pit. The feeling in the theater right before the curtain rose. The artists, audiences, staff, supporters, students, and community who made every performance feel electric.

To our audiences and our followers: thank you for being here. Thank you for celebrating, supporting, and growing with us through this milestone year. You are part of what makes Miami City Ballet one of the most magical ballet companies in the world.

The first 40 years are behind us.
The next 40 are in front of us. ✨

After opening night of our season finale at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, we gathered our alumni and current dancers for a special reception celebrating the legacy of Miami City Ballet. A true past, present, and future moment.

Led by Toby Lerner Ansin and made possible through the generous support of Gabriele & Frank Armstrong, Amy Buchman & Vicki Haupt, Kristi & Dean Jernigan, Rhoda Levitt, Susan Fox-Rosellini, and Charmaine Waterfield, this evening honored the community that has shaped 40 incredible seasons.
