SILENT AUCTION, FASHION SHOW BENEFITS OHIO YOUTH BALLET

 

CANAL FULTON, Ohio -- Each year, the major fundraising event for the Ohio Youth Ballet gets more entertaining and exciting — and that’s exactly what this year’s silent auction and fashion show is shaping up to be.

Not only are guests in for an evening of fine dining and exceptional dance performances Friday, April 4, but a silent auction, music, basket raffle and 50-50 drawing are all scheduled.

Tickets are available now for “Dancing with the Stars” Silent Auction, which begins at 6 p.m. at Glenmoor Country Club, 4191 Glenmoor Road, N.W. Canton.

            Both the Youth Ballet and Dance Team divisions of the Ohio Youth Ballet will perform. Students from The Turning Pointe School of Dance have been invited to dance, and talented ballroom dance instructor Joseph Rittenhouse will provide a demonstration with former OYB member and Turning Pointe instructor Heather Mihal. Rittenhouse, who was certified at a Fred Astaire studio and has trained with top professionals, teaches ballroom and Latin dance courses at the University of Akron. He once managed three studios in Orlando and has competed as a professional couple at the World Salsa Quarterfinals in 2001. Guests will be invited to learn some ballroom patterns.

Tiwatha Murdock, chairperson of the event, invites everyone to “come and build a memory with us. As a community, it is important that we support each other, especially our youth. This event will be full of excitement, entertainment, food, fashion, music, and dancing from the Ohio Youth Ballet, the OYB dance team, and special guests. We sincerely hope that you will join us for this extraordinary fund raiser. Be prepared to enjoy yourself."

“Dancing with the Stars” Silent Auction is the major benefit for the non-profit pre-professional OYB. Funds raised go toward outreach programs, costumes, studio rental, choreography, promotions, rehearsals and other areas.

Companies and individuals can still make donations of auction items, or become sponsors to help make the evening even more of a success.

Tickets are $75; and $125 per couple. Dinner is included. For more information, call 330-854-1417. Ticket request forms are available at www.ohioyouthballet.com.
