Ballroom Barks!

[j_alexandra]

Friday, Feb 24, at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC, Bonnie Diaz presents: Ballroom Barks! It's a fund raiser for a no-kill animal shelter advocacy center. Some pretty amazing dancers are going to do showdances, followed by general dancing. You can buy ads in the program, individual general admission tickets, or a table. It's the same day as the American Style Congress -- which should itself be a don't-miss event this year.

This looks to me to be a world-class evening; there are some awesome couples performing. The price is very reasonable, and you get to dance in one of the most beautiful ballrooms in NYC, *and* support a good cause.

BTW, this event tonight should be even more terrific; Tomas & JT will be dancing. A well-spent $25: show and general dancing after. If you're in the NY area, do come.

I have not heard about this show

I posted this thread a while ago, but I guess it got lost in the general DF busy-ness.

The show was a blast, and Tomas and JT were scintillating, mind bending, beautiful beyond words.
