"We need your help to continue providing strong programs with an exceptional faculty, in our beautiful facility, and to further our community outreach efforts," Ridgefield Conservatory of Dance explains.

Under the roof of beautiful Ridgefield Academy, attendees will enjoy hors d'oeuvres and food stations, wine, beer, and bubbly while being entertained by talented Ridgefield Conservatory of Dance faculty and students. 

A special performance "Spirit of the Incense” by Ruth St. Denis (1906), staged by Stephanie Clemens will be performed under special license by Ridgefield Conservatory of Dance Artistic Director, Amy Piantaggini.

Additionally, members of the Ridgefield Conservatory of Dance Civic Ballet will perform excerpts from "Giselle", and Mary Beth Hansohn will perform excerpts from the ballet, "Unnatural Selection".
