The Latin Ballet of Virginia’s upcoming performance of “Milagros” at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden brings artistic director Marisol Betancourt full circle.
When LBV founder Ana Ines King interpreted local author Meg Medina’s book “Milagros: Girl from Away” as a theatrical production in 2010, Betancourt was a 13-year-old dancer. She was also onstage in a 2018 performance. But now, Betancourt’s role is artistic director, charged with reimagining the choreography, costumes and staging for this iteration of “Milagros,” which includes students alongside faculty and junior company members for the final performance of the 2023-24 school year.
