When the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre brings its 50th anniversary season tour to the Arsht Center this month, it will be a homecoming for one dancer.

Yusha-Marie Sorzano will come full circle with Ailey’s April 16-19 appearance. The dancer credits Miami for getting her where she is today: a member of one of the most celebrated dance companies in the country, one whose founder changed the face of dance.

Those who love gay films of the Latin variety will get a special chance to see them when the Miami Latin Gay Film Festival launches April 16, coinciding with Miami’s gay Pride festivities. But this month’s festival is actually a sneak peek of a larger festival in the summer.

Jim Dobson, a publicist who was head of publicity for the Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival for seven years, was inspired more than a year ago to found the festival. Dobson says he stopped doing press for MGLFF because budget cuts would have substantially reduced his fee. He felt it as the right time to focus his attention on following his passion and creating a festival for gay, Latin films.
