TITAS – Extraordinary Dance and Music – is a non-profit organization committed to presenting the best in American and International performing arts.
On April 11th, 2009, TITAS presents its 15th 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 ten 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!” |
