Ballet Vero Beach to Perform at the Museum

Artists from Ballet Vero Beach will take the stage in Vero Beach Museum of Art’s Leonhardt Auditorium for afternoon performances inspired by the museum’s latest exhibit, “Roadside Reverie: Glass Works by John Miller” and “French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850–1950,” on November 16 and February 8.

On Saturday, November 16, Ballet Vero Beach will perform “Classic Heat,” a collection of works that explore the spirit of the 1960s, drawing inspiration from the colors, charisma, and culture of the decade. Audiences will delight in two new works choreographed by Ballet Vero Beach dancers Marlyse Noble and Darien Santos, as well as a reworked version of Artistic Director Adam Schnell’s “Crimson & Clover,” which turns 20 this year and has never been seen in Vero Beach.

On February 8, Ballet Vero Beach returns for “Joie de Vivre,” an interpretation of the exhibition forthcoming exhibition “French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850–1950.” Inspired by line, balance, and blank space, this sweeping program boasts French flare and avant-garde movements, featuring works by dancers Darien Santos and Abriella Mauldin.

Tickets to the 3 p.m. performances include entrance to the museum, so arrive early to walk the galleries or take in the 2 p.m. docent-led exhibition tour. Tickets are $30 per show for museum members and Ballet Vero Beach subscribers, and $36 for non-members.
