Raising the Barre Dance Gala

Please join us 6:30-9:30pm Saturday, October 26 at Stifel Fine Arts Center for the annual Raising the Barre Dance Gala presented by Oglebay Institute’s School of Dance.

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.

The proceeds from this year’s Raising the Barre Dance Gala support the purchase and installation of upgraded audiovisual equipment for the studio. This investment will open doors for distance learning opportunities, the use of digital media, and so much more.

The evening includes heavy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, silent auction, and dance performances by professional OI School of Dance alumni.

Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased online, at the School of Dance or by calling 304-242-7700.

Tax-deductible gifts can also be made 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.
