Step Up

Friday, April 13, 2012, 8 PM - Midnight
Patricia McBride & Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux Center for Dance
701 North Tryon Street

North Carolina Dance Theatre invites you to join us for a very special evening on Friday, April 13, 2012 - our Second Annual Step Up Soiree. 

Step Up is a special collaboration between Charlotte’s African American community and our city’s nationally renowned professional ballet company, the North Carolina Dance Theatre.  The event also serves as the primary funding vehicle for the Dancers’ Fund which provides financial assistance to diverse young dancers, and promotes recruitment and retention of diverse talent for Dance Theatre.       

On this fabulous evening of live music, conversation and dancing, we will collectively support the arts by helping some amazing artists manifest their destinies as professional dancers.  This year, the patrons will be graced by the presence and artistry of Dance Theatre’s soloists and Corps members, as some of them dazzle the crowd with a special performance during the Soiree.

Step Up guests will also celebrate firsthand as a talented, young dancer receives a career enabling financial contribution from our presenting scholarship sponsor.  This will be an unforgettable evening of glamour and generosity.   We will see you at Dance Theatre’s beautiful uptown Patricia McBride and Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux Center for Dance on April 13 at the Second Annual Step Up Soiree!
