Until August, the new company was known as Ballet Gamonet Maximum Dance, and was directed by Gamonet with former Miami City Ballet dancers David Palmer and Yanis Pikieris.
Palmer and Pikieris had merged their company, Maximum Dance, with Gamonet's newly founded company the previous February, but after a few months, creative differences between the directors caused a rift. Palmer and Pikieris withdrew, and are now directing a contemporary dance series with MCB.
Lileana Blain-Cruz directs the new production, opening April 23.
The Cuban-born composer is this season's Debs Composer's Chair.
The cast is led by Bryonha Marie and Nathan Gunn, with Tony winner Ted Sperling at the baton.
The season, opening September 21, will include 58 ballets across 21 weeks of performances.
