Experience: Runway for the Ballet

 Runway for the Ballet is the perfect mix of fashion, fun and culture. This fifth annual event is organized by NC Dance Theatre’s young professionals group, Opening Night Insiders and will take place on Saturday, February 11th at the Patricia McBride and Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux Center for Dance. There will be two shows: a matinee which begins at 4pm with a pre-reception (show begins at 5pm) and late show beginning at 8pm with a reception following the show.  

You can expect to see models sashaying down the runway in superb spring fashions from Neiman Marcus. In between runway looks, the talented dancers from NC Dance Theatre will perform vignettes from their most popular shows. Oh--and you may also catch a dancer doing double duty as a runway model! There will also be complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Could it get any better than this?

This would be the perfect gift for a giftee that enjoys fashion, arts & culture and dance. It would be a great Girls Night Out or perfect date night. I have a feeling that men could win major brownie points by bringing tickets to this event home to their lovely lady! In addition, Runway for the Ballet is such an interesting mix of creativity that any giftee would be happy to experience something new or make it an annual gift "to-do".  

Tickets are still available and can be purchased via www.ncdance.org/runwayfortheballet or by calling 704.372.0101. The price range for adults is $40-75, depending on which show you decide upon and if you want to upgrade your giftee to VIP.
