Christmas in the Gardens

Christmas in the Gardens was a celebration of the holiday season through dance and music by the young artists from Conchita Espinosa Conservatory of the Arts. This holiday performance is a cherished tradition, and featured The Snowman, an original story ballet inspired by the beloved English story choreographed by Danella Bedford, Navidades Flamencas, choreographed by Marisol Moreno, Cristina Masdueño,  and Leiza Mendez, as well ballet and contemporary dance choreographies, and musical and choral pieces directed by Yirka Ledón, Norman Milanés, and Laura De Mare. This joyous holiday tradition at Pinecrest Gardens is not to be missed!

Congratulations to all of the young artists who performed this weekend and whose artistry and dedication were a testament to the joy of Christmas celebrated through music and dance!

Thank you to our incredible faculty, who outdo themselves over and over again, and whose love, talent, leadership, and artistry continue to inspire our young musicians, singers, and dancers to be better each day!
