SOPHIA MEDINA ▼ MIAMI BEACH ON POINTE For more than two decades, the Cuban Classi- cal Ballet of Miami has carried forward the rig- orous ballet tradition established by choreographer Alicia Alonso, staging full- length classics and mixed repertory programs across South Florida. This season, Endless Love continues that mission with a program centered on romance in the classical canon, pairing grand pas de deux and contemporary works that spotlight the company’s principal dancers. Under the direction of Eriberto Ji- ménez, the company has built a reputation for technical precision and old-school theat- ricality, often performing in intimate local venues that put audiences close to the action. This latest production offers a chance to see Miami-trained dancers interpret a style that traces directly back to Havana’s famed Ballet Nacional de Cuba. 8 p.m. at the Fillmore Mi- ami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-673-7300; cubanclassicalballet- ofmiami.org.
