Featuring an extraordinary dance performance that uniquely combines emotional depth and thrilling physicality, the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center (SMDCAC) hosts Doug Varone and Dancers on Saturday, April 30 at 8 p.m.

Marking the company's 35th year, this 2021/22 season's dance performance features "Somewhere," Varone's newly minted take on Leonard Bernstein's iconic score to West Side Story. The final work of the evening, "Rise," is set to "Fearful Symmetries" by celebrated composer John Adams.

Whether on the concert stage, in opera, theater, or on the screen, Varone's kinetically thrilling dances are in fact making essential connections worldwide.

On tour, the company has performed in more than 125 cities in 45 states across the U.S. and in Europe, Asia, Canada, and South America. Doug Varone and Dancers has graced noted stages like The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, Toronto's Harbourfront, Buenos Aires' Teatro San Martin, Marble Hall in Tokyo, and several national dance festivals.

New York City-based Doug Varone also has staged multiple 
premieres and new productions for Washington Opera, New York City Opera, and Boston Lyric Opera, among others. Film credits include choreography for the 2003 Patrick Swayze film, "One Last Dance."

This performance is funded in part by a grant from South Arts Dance Touring Initiative in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the State of Florida.
