Renowned Ballet Ensemble To Dance at North Shore Youth Center
The Isadora Duncan Dance Ensemble will stage two ballet performances at the North
Shore Youth Center Monday, February 28, 2005 from 3:45 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. and Monday,
April 11, 2005 from 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Dubbed "Miami's Isadorables" by the Miami
Herald, the 10 women who comprise today's ensemble are the fifth generation to
perpetuate Isadora Duncan's 1920's style that broke the mold of early 20th century ballet.
Founded in 1990, the Ensemble has performed at New York City's Lincoln Center, at the
Washington, D.C. Kennedy Center and at a German international dance festival. These
performances will be a treat and a wonderful learning experience for our children.
The Ensemble performances are part of the Parks & Recreation Department's outreach to
increase cultural and artistic offerings beyond our traditional program offerings. We believe
these outreach programs make the overall Parks & Recreation Department a more
attractive family recreational and entertainment alternative.
You are cordially invited to visit our facilities and experience firsthand the recreational
programs that offer something for every member of the family.
Should yo~ have additional questions, please contact Kevin Smith at (305) 673-7730.
