Ballet Company Hosting Elegant
Halloween Masquerade Fundraiser
Ballet le Reve, a
pre-professional ballet company based in Canal Fulton, is presenting their
first annual Masquerade Ballet Ball fundraiser October 23, 2015.
The event will take place from 7 to
10pm in the ballroom of the historic Onesto Lofts in downtown Canton, and will
feature hors d’oeuvres and desserts from local restaurants, as well as a cash
bar, dancing, silent auctions, and raffle items.
"We are so excited to host the
Masquerade Ballet Ball at the newly-renovated, Historic Onesto Lofts,” said
Ballet le Reve’s President, Danielle Kimble. "The ballroom is exquisite;
complementary for our seasonally inspired performing arts event."
The highlight of the evening will be
two performances by the talented dancers of Ballet le Reve. In addition to repertory pieces,
this event will also feature a premiere of selections from Act II of Petipa's
"Giselle", as staged by Ballet Le Rêve Artistic Director Nurzhan
Kulybaev.
Tickets are on sale now, and are
available by visiting www.balletlereve.yapsody.com. Prices are $75 for adults and $40 for
children under 18. Attendees are
encouraged to don masks with their cocktail attire, and children are invited to
dress in costume to this family-friendly fundraiser. Proceeds from the evening will support the
company’s goal of staging a full-scale production of Giselle.
