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.
Bzzz: Need help figuring out what to wear? Check out pics from last year!
A life-long fat girl, Sommer Johnson decided to strap on some fancy tennis shoes, wrestle into a sports bra that would likely be one size too small (they always are--that's what you get with big boobs), and go on a 38 week journey to run the Peachtree Road Race. In the midst of trying to find her healthier self, she found that her struggle was not all that rare. Between the full-figured audience of her online publication, Gemini Magazine, and friends who were rowing up the fat river with no paddle, Sommer decided to share her journey to help women like her get past their fears (and get moving--literally). A runner newbie, Insanity graduate, Turbofire enthusiast, and foodie experimenter, Sommer Johnson is a 32 year old mother of 2 and wife of 1 who lives in Atlanta, GA.
