For more than 30 years, Boca Ballet Theatre (BBT) has been a cornerstone of the community, preserving and celebrating the art of classical ballet. Through world-class performances and beloved masterpieces, BBT has established itself as a living archive of ballet history in South Florida. By blending the talent of emerging dancers with fresh, contemporary productions, the organization continues its mission to make the beauty of ballet accessible to audiences who may not otherwise experience these iconic works on professional stages around the world.
This summer, BBT presents “Summer Breezes” — a captivating program of classical and contemporary pieces curated by Nick Mullikin, artistic director of Nashville Ballet, and James Sofranko, artistic director of Grand Rapids Ballet.
Performances will take place on Aug. 2 and 3 at the Countess de Hoernle Theatre at Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m., respectively. A highlight of the program is the staging of the dazzling “Paquita” by BBT legend Heather Fryxell.
Adding to the excitement, audiences will have the rare opportunity to witness the brilliance of Sasha de Sola, a guest artist from San Francisco Ballet, performing alongside the talented pre-professional dancers of BBT’s renowned Summer Performance Workshop — an intensive program that draws aspiring dancers from across the country to train with industry professionals and refine their artistry through hands-on stage experience.
Whether you’re a lifelong ballet lover or new to the art form, “Summer Breezes” promises an unforgettable evening of elegance, passion and storytelling through dance.
