Immerse yourself in movement and melody at Dance in the Gardens. This season features two distinct evenings of world-class dance under the stars in the historic Banyan Bowl amphitheater, nestled beneath a geodesic dome and surrounded by the lush tropical beauty of Pinecrest Gardens. These performances are uniquely choreographed for the Banyan Bowl stage, taking dance out of the traditional black box and proscenium theater and into an outdoor setting where nature becomes part of the performance.
