Miami City Ballet’s Ballet for Young People program brings the entire family together through dancing and fun. This year, MCB’s international dance stars perform George Balanchine’s delightful The Steadfast Tin Soldier and Sir Frederick Ashton’s enchanting Les Patineurs (The Skating Party). Based loosely on Hans Christian Andersen’s tale, The Steadfast Tin Soldier recounts a sweet love story between a tin soldier and a pretty paper doll. The stage then is transformed into an intimate skating pond surrounded by a winter wonderland in Les Patineurs... there is even snow! Audiences of all ages will leave with a smile on their face after experiencing the joy of these charming works. Passes are free!
