Daniel Lewis: A Life in Dance
At the end of this year Daniel Lewis, founder and dean of the dance division in Miami’s New World School of the Arts, is retiring. Sort of. Lewis is stepping down from his position as Dean in order to get back to teaching. The NWSA presents Daniel Lewis: A life in Dance, a gala and performance in Daniel’s honor with dancers from some of the most prestigious companies in the country, and takes place next Friday, the 5th. You can get tickets at nwsa.mdc.edu.

A Round-Heeled Woman
In the play “A Round-Heeled Woman”, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Sharon Gless plays the role of a retired school teacher who is…lonely. Really lonely. She has hardly dated in 30 years. “A Round-Heeled Woman” is the true story of a woman who decides there is still time to pursue passion with a vengeance. All the information you need is online at gablestage.org.
The Yankles
The Miami Jewish Film Festival closes this weekend with “The Yankles”. This film asks the question: can an ex-con find redemption by coaching an upstart Orthodox Jewish baseball team? The Miami Jewish Film Festival is an 8 day event, and
“The Yankles” is a feel good comedy that is just one film in the festival’s closing day lineup. Check out miamijewishfilmfestival.com.
