What a beautiful event at the LADV (Life After Domestic Violence)’s Gala and Fashion Show, “Phoenix Rising” this past Friday, April 25! The event was held at TriVision Studio. The event setting was modern, trendy, and elegant. The Gala performance started at 7:40 pm with a welcome note from the emcee and then opened the show with my solo work ‘Unchain’. The program also included belly dancing by Um-Neeya Dance Company and hip hop by ONE UNIT. The energy was running high. The show closed with GDC’s ‘The Core’. After the performance, the fashion show started with Apoorva McIntosh’s latex collection – Phoenix Rising. Apoorva is a talented, accomplished and award winning Fashion Designer who is also the Founder of the LADV Foundation. Her designs were fun and chic. At the end, Apoorva shared her very personal experiences in sexual and domestic abuse and how she decided to form the organization so she can reach out to many and help create awareness of the domestic abuse epidemic in society and help survivors of domestic abuse. We are truly grateful for Apoorva McIntosh for having us. It was a privilege to be a part of it. Also, great thanks to Abla Doku with Eventstagers for organizing such a great party and TriVision Studio for the beautiful space. 
#TBT The 1st picture is Jane Rabinovitz and Alison Grant from the BalletNova Center for Dance’s 2009 Year End Technique Demonstration Performance… I taught them when they were 12 years old studying at BalletNova all the way through their graduation from high school. Now years later we are so fortunate to have these two very talented, fun ladies as Gin Dance Company dancers. Dance brought us back together… I’m so happy that I got to work with them again. They will be performing excerpts from GDC’s ‘The Teller’ next weekend at BalletNova’s Spring Concert!! It’s so exciting and special!! Come join us!!

What a fun party at BalletNova Center for Dance this past Saturday, March 29! It’s BalletNova’s Annual Spring Gala… There were delicious food, live music, some fantastic items through the Silent Auction, and not to mention the incredible performances by BalletNova’s teacher Candy and Jim with their tap duet and students with 3 solo variations from Paquita and the pieces from Young Choreographers Competition. We had a wonderful time!

We had some incredibly delicious goodies from Trader Joe’s, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Filling Cupcakes, Whoopee Pies, and Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes.
