Interview with Ruby Romero-Issaev, producer and marketing director for Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida. She was born in Caracas, Venezuela on October 5, 1957. Ruby comes from a family of artists and believes her father, a famous conductor and composer, to be very impactful in her life. Initially, she worked with ballet and theatrical groups such as the Rajatabla theater group and the Conservatory of Music in Caracas Philharmonic Orchestra of Caracas. Ruby went on to promoting and touring for Ballet Nacional de Caracas- Teresa Carreño. It was here that she met her husband Vladimir Issaev. She moved to Miami in 1997 because her husband got a job. Both began to work at the Aventura dance company and eventually bought it. They then started the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida and have been running it ever since. Ruby has created many dancing based programs such as “Dancing with Disabilities” and “Art Ballet goes to school.” These programs help to raise funds for student scholarships. She also started the Aldemaro Romero foundation which helps children perform live in concerts and the Scarlett Cancer Foundation to support Hispanic families with cancer.
