Cabaret Night...One hot, sexy night of dance!

Join us for the return of Cabaret Night, an innovative evening of dance with the Columbia Classical Ballet.

Start your Valentine's celebration off right and bring your special someone to this sensual evening of dance brought to you by one of Columbia’s premier dance companies, the Columbia Classical Ballet. The Columbia Classical Ballet recruits some of the most talented performers from around the world and brings them to the Midlands. Dances will be performed to jazz, Latin beat, Gershwin, blues, Glenn Miller and more. The Columbia Classical Ballet performs under Artistic Director Radenko Pavlovich, a native of Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, who was coached by Grand Ballet master Rudolph Nureyev. 

Prior to the performance enjoy a cash bar and preshow entertainment provided by We Three (Julia Halford, Phyllis David, and Linda Higgins.) Cabaret Night is sponsored by Williams Group, C.W. & Sons, LLC, as well as generous donations from supporters.

The After Party
The After Party will be held at Ten Eleven Galleria Upstairs immediately following the performance. During the After Party you will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with the dancers while enjoying hors d'ouevres and a cash bar. Hors d'ouevres will be provided by Catery on Broad. The After Party is co-hosted by Fred and Rose Sheheen and Earl and Nancy Bryant.

Proceeds from Cabaret Night will benefit the Outreach Committee of the FAC whose initiative is to bring a world of arts, education and entertainment to at-risk and special needs children. It is these children, who many times, will never have the opportunity to experience the wonder, magic and healing of the arts who benefit from this opportunity. Last fall, the Outreach committee was able to bring Sarah Dippity to the FAC to perform for 284 at risk school children at no charge. Sarah will return to the FAC in March to perform her "Super Hero Show" for another full audience of First Step students and students of Elgin's Pine Grove School for the disabled, again at no charge. Fundraising events such as "Cabaret Night" enable the FAC Outreach Committee to fund these programs as well as other community-wide events.
