Now the subject of a new Feature Documentary, Men Who Dance, the largest all male dance festival in the United States returns to the Amaturo stage for a TRIUMPHANT 5th year in a row! To celebrate the milestone, an exciting line-up of dancers from around the globe, including past audience favorites, return in an explosive physical display of artistic expression meant to celebrate, challenge, deconstruct, and defy tired concepts and notions of “masculinity.” Featured countries from Men Who Dance Global include Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Paraguay.
“The essence and purpose of Men Who Dance is not to promote any agendas, or even come to conclusions, it is about engaging in the process of deconstructing stereotypes of men, revaluate what is masculinity on and off the stage, and encourage and dare artists to explore them.” (Rafi Maldonado-Lopez, Artistic Director) Against the backdrop of exceptional displays of bravura and thought-provoking choreographies, local, national, and international dance companies and individual artists present an exhilarating repertoire across myriad themes and genres. Previous and returning artists include Miami City Ballet, Dance NOW! Miami, Cuban Classical Ballet, Dimensions Dance Theatre of Miami, Tango Out, RTW Dance, Arts Ballet Theatre of South Florida, Florida Grand Opera, New Canon Chamber Collective, Syncopate Dance Collective and special guest artists from Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Brazil among others.
