“Fernando Bujones, artistic director of the Orlando Ballet and a Cuban-American ballet prodigy who earned a place among the great classical dancers of the late 20th century, died early today in Miami. He was 50.

“Fernando came to Orlando Ballet and took an average local company and made it into a world-class organization,” said Tricia Earl, past president of the ballet board. “He was an exceptional gift to the world of dance — not only as a performer but with the legacy he leaves.”"
