The fun and fresh annual event will focus on the dancers who make the fabulous performances happen. These young artists have been through years of training and have a dedicated passion for the art in their day-to-day lives. The evening will also spotlight honorary chairs Rose and Harry Papp whose dedication and passion have deeply impacted Ballet Arizona and propel the art organization to where it is today, a nationally acclaimed ballet company.

The evening will begin at 6:30pm with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres among the beautiful artwork of Phoenix Art Museum, followed by a brief performance from the Ballet Arizona dancers showcasing their athleticism and dedication to this beautiful and demanding art form. Once the dinner has ended, a live band will take the stage and guests can take the dance floor with the dancers for the remainder of the evening. Tickets for this black tie event begin at $600 and table sponsorships begin at $6,000 for this fun and high energy evening.
