Raising the Barre Dance Gala

Please join us 6:30-9:30pm Saturday, November 1 at Stifel Fine Arts Center for the annual Raising the Barre Dance Gala. This special evening is the major annual fundraising event of OI’s School of Dance.

By purchasing a ticket or making a gift, you are investing in the power of music, dance, and storytelling to transform lives.

Proceeds from this year’s Raising the Barre Dance Gala support the purchase and installation of a new vinyl floating floor in the dressing and kitchenette areas. This long-overdue improvement replaces flooring that dates back to the 1990s, creating a safer, more functional, and more welcoming space that every student at OI’s School of Dance will enjoy.

The gala includes heavy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, silent auction, and dance performances.

Tickets are $50 per person ($33.66 tax deductible).  Purchase online, at the School of Dance, or by calling 304-242-7700.

You can also make Tax-deductible gifts  in lieu of purchasing a ticket with a variety of giving options available. To learn more, call 304-242-4200 or visit online.

Your support enables us to continue to provide the very best training and resources to our dedicated and talented students.
