Sentimiento

Sentimiento

(2023)

Choreography

Durante Verzola

Music

Ernesto Lecuona

A vibrant love letter to Miami, Sentimiento unfolds in a series of dance vignettes set to the sweeping piano works of Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona. Inspired by the city’s energy and romance—from sunlit beaches to candlelit clubs—Durante Verzola blends classical technique with Latin flair to explore themes of love, connection, and spirit. With expressive choreography, dynamic music, and lush designs by Esteban Cortázar, Sentimiento evokes a dreamlike Miami, rich with color, rhythm, and heart.
