Miami City Ballet School dances an original story ballet that will thrill kids of all ages. The storyline takes us on a fantastic journey into the world of threatened ecosystems and endangered wildlife. Rich with dynamic dancing, adventure, action, and color-rich costumes and sets, the dance is a flight into the world of the tropical jungle, the seamy savanna, and even our modern urban jungle. Within this backdrop our principal characters (some animals, some humans) bring to the stage an emotional tale where one troubled young man is faced with the challenge of making a choice between Love and Power. Choreography by Miami City Ballet’s Rafael Maldonado and Geta Constantinescu. Music by Camille Saint-Saens.

Carnival of the Animals is a Miami City Ballet for Young People program.
