Boca Ballet’s Getting Ready for ‘Summer Breezes’
City Plans Pushback Repeat
Number 727 • Year XVI
They weren’t in tutus yet, but two sets of ballerinas and four male dancers were practicing for Boca Ballet Theatre’s “Summer Breezes.” The recent reception for patrons was more than a rehearsal for the performances at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 2 and 2 p.m. Aug. 3 in Countess de Hoernle Theatre in Spanish River High School as the venue. New repertory ballets will include both classical and contemporary works by two national choreographers, both here for workshops so they could give the dancers pointers. “They are dancing for them and creating a show you will see in costume,” Boca Ballet school and co-artistic director Jane Tyree said in her welcome.

More than 30 speakers lined up at Tuesday night’s city council meeting to object to Boca’s evolving plans for a new government center downtown. Most wore Save Boca T-shirts and criticized efforts to sell public land and move east Boca recreational fields to parks too far for children to walk. Some called for a voter referendum. But this isn’t the first time that Boca voters rallied against a government plan, and last time they were effective. Mayor Scott Singer acknowledged there were more residents in the audience Tuesday than the “last 10 meetings combined.” Council heard everyone out, so the 6 p.m. meeting lasted until 10:46 p.m. See on Page 6
