Galas mean celebrations and this year’s ninth annual Gala of International Dance Stars brings not only a thrilling evening of dance for the audience but also excitement for the classically trained professional performers.
Presented by ballet tech cincinnati at the Aronoff Center, the Gala offers a powerhouse pack of extraordinary dancers hand-picked from top companies from around the country and beyond. Look for world premieres, including one representing dancer Darius Crenshaw’s professional choreographic debut.
Crenshaw says he’s been “freelancing everywhere” as of late and is excited to be making both his choreographic and dancing debut at this year’s Gala. If Crenshaw feels any pressure about performing “double duty,” it wasn’t evident speaking with him by phone from his rehearsal in Pennsylvania.
The Gala takes place Saturday at the Aronoff Center.
