An Evening of Eleganc with The Canadian Ballet Youth Ensemble


This past Friday, October 3rd, The Canadian Ballet Youth Ensemble celebrated Alicia Alonso and The National Ballet of Cuba at An Evening of Elegance.

The black-tie Gala fundraising Gala was held at The Silversti Residence at 140 Garner Road East in Hamilton. The evening was full of "elegance" and began with a champagne reception & hors d'oeures in the residences lobby with enchanting harp music in the background. Guests socialized with the crowd and had a chance to bid on items in the silent auction. A lavish 5 course meal was served in the residences ballroom and the evening concluded with Ballet performance by the principle dancer of The National Ballet of Cuba and other musical entertainment.

All funds raised through An Evening of Elegance went directly back to The Canadian Ballet Youth Ensemble and there continued success.
