Neglia Ballet's Summer Gala

Pre-Sale Ticket are no longer available BUT you can still join us! Tickets will be sold at the door from 6:45 - 7:15pm (cash or card accepted) (General Seating: $80 and Student Seats: $30)

In celebration of our 30th Anniversary season we've curated one of our best Gala's to date bringing back audience favorites, new premieres and nationally beloved pieces for you to enjoy!

Our Spring into Summer Gala, presented by Delaware North, brings together the best of the dance world: acclaimed dancers from across the globe, local favorites, and rising stars! It's a performance everyone can enjoy, whether it's your first ballet performance or your 100th!

Audiences can look forward to a world-class evening of dance including pieces from:

Miami City Ballet Principal Dancer Chase Swatosh and former Miami City Ballet Principal Soloist Emily Bromberg who recently performed as a guest artist at the Cuban Dance Festival in Havana, Cuba.

Principal dancers Dana Benton & Jonnathan Ramirez from Colorado Ballet, dancing "Argentine Tango" with music by Astor Piazzolla!

Neglia Ballet's Pre-Professional class will premiere a contemporary piece created specifically for them by a NYC based choreographer (and Buffalo native) Jennifer Golonka!

Alumna Maggie Weatherdon, now with Royal Winnipeg Ballet and Alumnus Rowan Lindamood now with Joffrey Studio Company who will be performing August Bournonville's "Flower Festival Pas de Deux" Charming and romantic, it features a spirited and technically demanding interplay between a male and female dancer, highlighting lightness, musicality, and intricate footwork.
The pair will also be featured in "Salento" an original piece by Heidi Halt that is being brought back by POPULAR DEMAND. If you missed it last year...don't miss your chance this year!

Alumna, Adrien Malof, who has performed with BalletMet and Grand Rapids Ballet, will showcase a self-choreographed piece AND be taking the stage with our very own Sergio Neglia in "From Earth" choreographed by Viktor Plotnnikov, a piece that will be performed by Sergio at the 100th Anniversary Gala of the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires later this year!

The evening doesn't end when the curtain closes either!

After the hour-long performance in the theatre, audience members will be invited to celebrate alongside the dancers with complimentary champagne, desserts by Lola's Bake Shop and appetizers by Espos Catering!
