orthwest Florida Ballet opened this spectacular season on Saturday, October 
13, with A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a free outdoor performance in Grand 
Boulevard at Sandestin’s Grand Park. Choreographed by Katia Garza with 
beautiful music by Felix Mendelssohn, the magical production was based 

on William Shakespeare’s famous play that includes a happy tangle of plots and subplots 
about the loves and adventures of mortals and mystical beings. The production had a cast 
of more than 58 dancers that included NFB Company members and an impressive array of 
international guest artists. 

After the production guests had the chance to mingle and have their photographs taken 

with the amazing artists during the VIP after party at Vin’tij, where they also enjoyed food 
and drink throughout the evening.
