\"Brandon<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the great emotions always felt during the International Ballet Festival of Miami, this year in its 23rd edition, is the joy of watching young stars who will soon become legends of this classic art.<\/p>\n

\n

At this year\u2019s festival (Saturday at the Fillmore Miami Beach Jackie Gleason Theater; Sunday at Miami-Dade County Auditorium), Brandon Lawrence will perform two exquisite pas de deux with Celine Gittens: \u201cRomeo and Juliet\u201d choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan with music by Sergei Prokofiev, and the \u201cAurora\u2019s Wedding\u201d from \u201cSleeping Beauty,\u201d with choreography by Sir Peter Wright.<\/p>\n

Both dancers are with the Birmingham Royal Ballet, one of the three top ballet companies in the United Kingdom along with The Royal Ballet and the English National Ballet.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Romeo and Juliet\u2019 is one of those roles that all ballet dancers want to perform,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cI\u2019ve danced it only recently with Cline, and it was an incredible experience. It\u2019s like a long journey, not only technically, but emotionally as well. The MacMillan production is truly notable and iconic, and to dance it for the IBFM is a pleasure, even though it\u2019s only the pas de deux at the balcony.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Aurora\u2019s Wedding\u2019 from \u2018Sleeping Beauty\u2019 meanwhile is one of those sublime classics that radiates elegance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

We commented that he has the physique for contemporary dance. \u201cReally, yes, I enjoy dancing both styles, the classic and the contemporary,\u201d he said. \u201cI personally believe that a dancer has to be incredibly versatile. There are always classical ballets, like \u2018Swan Lake,\u2019 that are big audience favorites. But it\u2019s also important to be part of the future of dance and create new movements and ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another pair of young principal dancers come to Miami from a ballet company on the other side of the world, Ballet Manila in the Philippines. Katherine Barkman, who won a silver medal at Jackson, and Joseph Phillips, are invited residents of that company. They will perform the pas de deux from \u201cDon Quijote\u201d and \u201cLe Corsaire\u201d and \u201cThe Distance Between,\u201d with original choreography by Simon Hoy.<\/p>\n

\n
Lisa Macuja Elizalde founded Ballet Manila in 1995 with just 12 members. \u201cWhen I saw all the responsibilities I would have, because I was also principal dancer, I decided to invite the respected Filipino director and choreagrapher Eric V. Cruz to be our artistic director and co-founder,\u201d Elizalde said. \u201cCruz held that position until he retired in 2003, and then I succeeded him as director and CEO of the ballet. And the company has grown beyond my wildest dreams.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The dancers also have received training by Osias Barroso and visiting professors from the Vaganova Institute for Choreography in St. Petersburg, Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd although Ballet Manila is widely recognized for the excellence of its classical ballets, we have grown by adding contemporary Filipino pieces to our repertoire,\u201d Elizalde said. \u201cEach season we add works by Filipino choreographers during the galas, incorporating movements and others aspects from local indigenous dances.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course we were a Spanish colony for 400 years, so we cannot avoid referring to that historic legacy, especially the dances before the 20th century,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
