TITAS - Celebrating 25 years of Extraordinary Dance and Music in 2008 - is a non-profit organization committed to presenting the best in American and International performing arts. On April 5, 2008, TITAS presents its 14th annual Command Performance of International Ballet, and gala dinner, La Fête du Ballet. TITAS presents a spectacular evening of dance featuring some of the world's most renowned international dance stars. This opportunity to see eight principal dancers from various international companies sharing the stage is a very rare and precious cultural event. As Julie Kent, Principal Dancer for American Ballet Theatre said, "The TITAS Command Performance Gala is among the best ballet galas in the world today!" No other dance event in Texas rivals TITAS' Command Performance as an opportunity to see the world's best on one stage. It's a tour-de-force, take-your-breath-away-performance-experience truly not to be missed! Proceeds support TITAS' educational outreach program, CROSSROADS, which provides free arts educational programs and tickets to more than 50,000 North Texas children, senior citizens and other special groups.
