“The fundraiser is an opportunity to have great time while supporting Ballet Havasu, one of the stand-out cultural institutions of our community.  Dress in black and white…and that means any black and white, (it is not limited to formal attire).  There will be a silent auction including paintings, metal sculpture and gift baskets; a performance featuring Ballet Havasu Students and an opportunity for attendees to get up and dance with a partner during a waltz lesson taught at the event,” said Ballet Havasu Artistic Director, Nathan Cottam.
