Ballet Rose will make its New York City debut with Ballet Rose: Made in Miami on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM EST at the Florence Gould Theater (55 East 59th Street).

Led by Artistic Director and choreographer Ariel Rose, the evening-length program features five original works that reflect Rose’s distinctive choreographic voice—one that blends classical ballet technique with contemporary musicality, theatricality, and emotional depth. Rooted in Miami’s cultural energy while drawing on international influences, Made in Miami introduces New York audiences to Ballet Rose’s bold and refined artistic identity.

“This program is a reflection of what ballet means to me as both a dancer and dance maker. It reflects my respect for music and the responsibility I feel to deliver what it deserves,” says Rose.  “Music for me is not a background, but a catalyst of light through which the movement speaks. To be able to bring some of the greatest talent in the country to dance these works is an immense honor for me and I am thrilled to share them in these works with you.”
