LOCATION
The
Festival is held in exotic and sun-drenched Miami and
Miami Beach. South Florida's rich blend of cultures
and tropical setting make it an ideal vacation destination.
In addition to classes and performances, South Florida's
bustling urban setting offers Festival participants a
multitude of attractions, sightseeing tours, museums
and galleries, shops, sidewalk cafés and colorful
nightlife to explore and enjoy. We encourage you to bring
family and friends along to enjoy the sun, sand, cool
Atlantic Ocean and all that makes South Florida one of
the most exciting places to explore. Visit www.miami.citysearch.com to
discover more of what we have to offer.
FACILITIES
Festival classes and workshops are held in state-of-the-art
dance studios and classrooms at New World School of
the Arts, 25 NE 2nd Street, in downtown Miami. The
school is a short walk from the recommended downtown
hotel. Evening performances are held in venues in both
Miami and Miami Beach. Transportation is provided to
Miami Beach events.
TRAVEL
Two major airports serve the South Florida area. Miami
International Airport (MIA) is 15-minutes from downtown
Miami, and Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International
Airport (FLL) is a 45-minute drive from Miami. SuperShuttle
service is available from both airports. Visit www.supershuttle.com or
call 305-871-2000 for fare information and reservations.
Taxi service is also available from both airports.
From Miami International Airport (MIA) taxi fare to
downtown Miami is approximately $25-$28, and $28-$32
to Miami Beach. Taxi fare will be considerably more
expensive from the Fort Lauderdale airport. Most major
car rental companies offer great summer discounts.
Miami is also accessible through the major bus companies
and by Amtrak train, which connects to the city's MetroRail
service and the PeopleMover system in downtown Miami.
There are PeopleMover stops within one-block of New
World School of the Arts and the Marriott Courtyard
Hotel.
