The Sarasota Cuban Ballet

The Sarasota Cuban Ballet Our award-winning school provides world-class ballet instruction in the tradition of the Cuban method. It is very clean and precise, but not stiff.

About The Sarasota Cuban Ballet School
SCBS was founded in 2012 by the Cuban-born husband and wife team of Ariel Serrano and Wilmian Hernandez. Born in Cuba, they trained at the elite National Ballet School of Cuba and performed internationally. In 1993 they moved to Sarasota to join the Sarasota Ballet. Co-Artistic Directors of SCBS, they teach classes at all levels for students from age three to

adults, but the heart of its program is a rigorous training course to prepare talented, serious young dancers for professional careers. Students of SCBS have gone on to perform with Dance Theater of Harlem, Milwaukee Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, Tulsa Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Ballet West and the Royal Ballet School and Company. About the Cuban Style
SCBS is the only school in the United States specializing in the Cuban training style, which is renowned for its athleticism, passion and grace. The Cuban Style is Russian-based, emphasizing dancing with the entire body, promoting harmonious movement among arms, legs and torso. It has a romantic feel, with attentive partnering, and is changing the face of modern ballet with superb technique and impeccable footwork.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING OUR HEART! ♥️

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported the Sarasota Cuban Ballet in the 2026 Giving Challenge. The Sarasota Cuban Ballet is a small nonprofit, but we dream big. We believe that our dancers deserve the very best—through training and support from our faculty at a professional facility, and through opportunities to perform for discerning audiences. We hope you feel the heart of our dreams at our performances. We couldn’t do what we love to do—share our passion for ballet and the Cuban style—without your support.

Gracias!

Directors Ariel Serrano and Wilmian Hernández
