Love For Sale A tribute to Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga Tony Bennett is one of Americas most iconic singers of our time with countless hits. Lady Gaga is a voice of the next generation.

Love For Sale is an unbelievable concert unlike any other, recreating the chemistry of the real Bennett and Gaga.

With a world class jazz band behind them, you will be transported into the emotion and power of these legendary artists.

Singing such hits as “The Way You Look Tonight,” “The Lady Is A Tramp,” “Night And Day,” “Love For Sale” and many more... do not miss this event!

A Tribute To Two Icons Love For Sale is a tribute to legendary composer and songwriter, Cole Porter, whose songs are often considered the standard for American music. Porter rose to fame in the 20’s and 30’s, working alongside Crooners like Fred Astaire. Over the course of his career, Porter wrote almost 800 original songs, including the production of several Broadway musicals.

Classics like “Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall In Love),” “Night And Day” and “Anything Goes” cemented Porter’s place in musical history.

The tribute is a feast of indulgence for Gaga & Bennett fans — the Big Band instrumentation allows for stunning vocals and natural affinity for old-time flair. On the album ‘Love For Sale’ one can hear the smile in her voice as she sings.

That same type of feeling will come through during the tribute concert.

The camp offers students the chance to study singing, dancing and acting while rehearsing for a theatrical production culminating in a final performance on stage.

SUMMER CAMP SHOWS Disney’s My Son Pinocchio Jr. In Disney’s My Son Pinocchio Jr., toymaker Geppetto’s little wooden puppet is given new life. This new musical, which retells the classic Disney story from Geppetto’s perspective,

features the beloved classic songs, “When You Wish upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings,” alongside a host of new songs by Oscar winner and Grammy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz. Join the Blue Fairy, Stromboli and a lively cast of characters as Geppetto journeys beyond the toyshop to discover the meaning of family. When the Blue Fairy grants Geppetto’s wish to bring his beloved puppet to life, the new father quickly learns the challenges of being a parent and the meaning of unconditional love.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. Based on the original Broadway production that ran for over 13 years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, and the Academy Award-winning motion picture, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. is a fantastic adaptation of the story of transformation and tolerance. Featuring some of the most popular songs ever written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice, the classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is

really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Moana and the legendary demigod Maui embark on an epic journey of self-discovery and camaraderie as both learn to harness the power that lies within. With empowering messages of

bravery and selflessness, Moana JR. is sure to bring out the hero within each of us.

Shrek The Musical, Jr. Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical, It’s a “big bright beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre, and his new pal Donkey lead a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a Princess Fiona from the evil Lord Farquaad. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek Jr. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.

Siudy Flamenco presents A Dos a Flamenco Suite created by Siudy Garrido with original music by Composer/guitarist Jose Luis de La Paz. Siudy, along with Maestro Jose Luis de la Paz interpret Flamenco numbers “A Dos,” which means in a duet, describing mesmerizing dance solos accompanied by the simple yet intense musical presence of De la Paz’s guitar. The Company Ballet appears in-terspersed within-and-in between movements that take the audience on a journey into the intimate emotions in the music over the classic Flamenco Rhythms known as Seguidilla, Alegrías and Solea. It explores and presents a journey through the diversity of colors, sensations, and emotions of a pure-rooted Flamenco, while at the same time remaining Siudy Garrido open to the present, a proper reading of the different styles of Flamenco Dancing. Siudy Garrido Flamenco Company is known for collaborations with the Los Angeles Philharmonics, Flamenco superstars Farruquito and Antonio Canales.

About Siudy Garrido Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Ms. Garrido began performing on stage at just five years old. Her dance education started at her mother’s academy, Siudy Quintero, whom she considers her most influential teacher. Following in her mother’s footsteps and answering her ancestral vocation, Ms. Garrido has dedicated her entire life to honoring and elevating the art of Flamenco. Throughout her outstanding career, she’s benefitted from the mentorship of other Flamenco influencers, such as: her aunt Azilde Henríquez, María Magdalena, Eduardo Serrano Iglesias “El Güito,” Ciro Diezhandino Nieto, Kasandra “La China,” Milagros Menjíbar, Adrián Galia, and Domingo Ortega. Ever an evolving artist, Ms. Garrido’s career has also led her to study other dance genres, such as: ballet, jazz, contemporary dance, and the Graham technique. Ms. Garrido has dedi-

cated her entire life to honoring Flamenco Dance. In each scene and with each movement, Ms. Garrido displays a deep exploration and understanding of new dance concepts, where Flamenco is nourished by the influences of other musical genres. The result is the evolution of this art form, which still very much honors the roots of traditional Flamenco.

Today Ms. Garrido is an award-winning Artist, Choreographer and Artistic Director, who is well-known and highlyregarded worldwide. She is considered one of the most impressive talents in the contemporary Flamenco Dance Scene.

She has been acclaimed by her wide-ranging fanbase and by the media, who describe her as: “dazzling,” “first class,” “perfection,” and “a queen of the scene.” She has been recognized for her artistic vision, which combines traditional and contemporary techniques in a Flamenco Style that is completely her own.

Since 2000 – when she founded her own company – until today, Ms. Garrido has served as a Principal Dancer, Choreographer, and Artistic Director of the Siudy Garrido Flamenco Company, a Non-Profit Organization with new Headquarters in Miami since 2015.

Athletics, Coding and The Arts Summertime Camps & Activities Enriching The Lives of Kids in The Community

By Joyce R. Forchion- The year 2022 is progressing at an accelerated speed that has left many parents in a perpetual state of disbelief. Not long ago, Moms and Dads were in a frenzy, scrambling around parking lots and lining up in chain stores during the holidays to purchase the latest gadgets and gifts for their children.

Then spring arrived, accompanied by a renewed sense of focus on homework, carpooling, bake sales, and extracurricular activities. In unbelievable fashion, parents are now faced with the emergence of summer and challenged with some grappling decisions of where to leave their children while they work. Aventura schools have closed so now it’s time to make way for the sleepy summer season, which local Summer Camp Programs are available for swift enrollment?

With well-established values of health, wellness, and education permeating the City, most Aventura parents remain concerned about the safety and wellbeing of their children during the summer months. The City of Aventura’s Community Recreation Center offers a pretty thorough listing of activities specifically designed for their youth Summer Camp Programs, which are scheduled from June 13 to August 12. Along with a General Camp created for kids ranging from age 5 to 12, there are also topical programs available for children interested in a special subject, such as Art, Marine Biology, Dance, and STEM. Sports Programs are also extremely popular as the City offers instruction in Soccer, Tennis, and Basketball.

Some of the daytime programs include concentrations in LEGO robotics, 3D Roblox Development, and YouTube Channel Creation.

Hallandale City Center This Vision Has Been Long In The Making

JUNE 2022 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 14

The “Northwest Section ‘’ of Hallandale Beach as it’s known by locals is defined as North of Hallandale Beach Boulevard and West of Dixie Highway. Over the decades, the area has gone through many changes and had many visions for its future. One of these visions has been in the works with the consistent dedication of the Hallandale Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (HBCRA), along with City Officials and Staff.

On Thursday, June 9th, 2022 the fruits of all this labor came to fruition with the Official “Groundbreaking Ceremony” held at the site, across from City of Hallandale Beach Fire Station 7.

Directly across the street from the station is the development site of Hallandale City Center, sitting at the Northwestern corner of Foster Road and West Dixie Highway. Foster Road is the main thoroughfare that cuts through the Northwest. The official areas the development covers are: 505 Northwest 2nd

Avenue/501 Northwest 1st Avenue/110 Foster Road; 501 North Dixie Highway; 605 North Dixie Highway and 608 Northwest 1st Avenue.

Owner/Developer Hallandale City Center, LLC along with the Hallandale Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (HB CRA) Staff, City Commissioners, Deputy Vice Chair, Mike Butler, Director, Michele Lazarow, City Officials and others came out to celebrate the Groundbreaking of this Transformative Project.

Known as the Hallandale City Center, the 4-Acre, Mixed-Use Project will feature approximately 8,000 Feet of Commercial/Retail Space, which will be utilized by a small neighborhood “Green Grocery” Store. 270 parking spaces will be provided, which will serve both the residential and commercial components. 55 of those parking spaces will be set aside perpetually per a Redevelopment Agreement as Public Parking for the City of Hallandale Beach.

The Developer, Claudia

Penas, worked tirelessly on the Project and in coordination with the Hallandale Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (HBCRA) and City Staff.

“Hallandale City Center LLC aims to bring to the City of Hallandale Beach a leading worldwide approach to Affordable Housing Production commonly known as the ‘Vienna Model,” she said. “Unlike Traditional Affordable Housing Development Models, where construction costs are the main priority, the Vienna Model has Four Equally Essential Pillars: Architectural Quality, Environmental Considerations, Social Sustainability and Economic Costs.”

“This has resulted in beautiful, yet Affordable Housing

Projects that are assets to the Public Realm.”

The cost of construction is approximately $17 Million and will bring together State-Of-TheArt Architectural Design, Environmental Sustainability, Landscape Design and will shift significant commercial activity of Hallandale Beach West of the waterfront.

This Mixed-Use Development is an integral part of the HBCRA’s Redevelopment Plan for the City of Hallandale Beach.

It will help to geographically link several Integral Redevelopment Projects: The Food, Fashion, Art and Design District (FFADD) to the southeast, Artsquare to the East, Atlantic Village to the Northeast and eventually future

Redevelopments for the Big Easy Casino Property to the North.

“The vision for Hallandale City Center has been long in the making,” says City Manager and Executive Director of the HBCRA, Dr. Jeremy Earle. “Economic Development is a step-bystep process involving an integrated approach to Site selection, Transportation and determining the best Commercial Uses for the future of our City.”

The HBCRA believes that Hallandale City Center will greatly enhance the emerging dynamics of the City by attracting a variety of residents from families to professionals and will also be an appealing Housing Alternative for current residents.

Make Dad Smile On His Day Father’s Day brings a special opportunity each year to celebrate the Dad in your life, whether it’s spent lighting a grill in the backyard, heading to the golf course or simply relaxing at home. Make his day one to remember by enjoying his favorite activities and giving a gift that’ll put a grin on his face.

From home chefs and snazzy dressers to outdoorsmen and sports fans, these gifts offer an array of ideas for Dads of all kinds, so you can bring a little extra joy to this year’s celebration. Here are a few

Father’s Day gift inspirations you could possibly get for the Dad in your life.

Is Your Dad A Meat Lover?

Even for the man who has it all, sometimes Father’s Day gifting can be pretty simple. Show Dad some love with the Omaha Steaks Best Father’s Day Gift package that includes mouthwatering favorites like Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignons, Boneless Pork Chops, Boneless Chicken Breasts, Gourmet Jumbo Franks, PureGround Filet Mignon Burgers, Individual Scalloped Potatoes, decadent Caramel Apple Tartlets and a jar of Omaha Steaks Seasoning. Find more gifting wisdom at OmahaSteaks.com/Dad. Golf Bag Goodies If he’s like most golfers, chances are your Dad spends a few minutes each round searching for his ball after a wayward tee shot. Save him some precious time on the course with the extra golf

balls he needs so he doesn’t have to worry about leaving one (or two or three) in the woods. Even amateur players sometimes prefer a certain ball, so don’t be afraid to sneak to the garage and check his current supply so you can put his favorite brand in your cart.

Food from the Fire Quick seared, slow smoked or anything in-between, a true chef-worthy grill can take your Dad’s barbecue reputation from backyard novice to neighborhood celebrity. He may already view himself as master of the meats, but a new charcoal or propane grill can give him the motivation he needs to try new recipes and cook up classics. It’s a gift he can enjoy while bringing the entire family together to celebrate savory success.

Perfect for His Pocket Just before heading out the door, there’s one last “checklist” for many dads:

phone, wallet, keys, pocketknife. The next time he goes through the classic pocket check, give your Dad an upgrade he can smile about with a knife he can use for a variety of situations on a daily basis. For a reminder of home every time he opens the blade, consider a customized option engraved with a loving message so he’ll never forget your thoughtful gift.

A Wardrobe Upgrade Whether your Dad has style or just thinks he does, you can give his wardrobe the finishing touch it needs with a watch to match the look that’s all his own. From casual styles that compliment most of his clothes to traditional timepieces suited for special occasions, there are options in virtually every price range to help the final piece of his outfit make a statement. In the office, on the road or right at home, he’ll be reminded of you every time he checks his wrist.
