2026 End-Of-Year Student Workshop Performances
Friday, May 29 – Sunday, May 31, 2026Workshop Performances, May 29 - May 31, 2026
To celebrate the culmination of our 25/26 school year, we are excited to announce our annual End-of-Year Student Workshop Performances!
We welcome families and friends to see the progress our students have made through their hard work and dedication. From our Level I students through our Pre-Professional Division, these performances give every student a moment to take the stage and showcase the technique and growth they've built throughout the year.
This year, we are proud to present an exuberant, classical work by George Balanchine alongside original works by MCBS Resident Choreographer Durante Verzola, and more. Through these special performances, students across our Student Division and Pre-Professional Division display the refined technique and inspirational artistry that is a hallmark of Miami City Ballet School. We hope you'll join us in celebrating everything our students have worked toward this year, their growth, their dedication, and the artistry they've developed along the way.
