A bold, cutting edge contemporary ballet company founded in 2016 by former Miami City Ballet Principal Dancers Jennifer Kronenberg and Carlos Guerra, DDTM has established itself with a dazzling repertoire and dynamic world class dancers hailing from various Hispanic, North and South American backgrounds. On March 24th, audiences will be treated to a full evening performance – a mixed bill program that will feature Gerald Arpino’s masterwork, ‘Light Rain,’ a main staple of the Dimensions’ repertoire since the company first brought the full ballet to South Florida in 2017.
