Once again this year, principal dancers from New York City Ballet will perform in a benefit for Gulfshore Ballet, Southwest Florida's only non-profit classical ballet school. "Beyond supporting the school, this is an incredible opportunity for the dance audience in our area," said Gulfshore Ballet's Executive Director, Jan Egeland. "New York City Ballet does not perform in Florida as a company, and yet we have 70 percent of the Principal Dancers, the very best of City Ballet, bringing world- class performances here." This year's BravolBallet will include performances by Jock Soto, Damien Woetzel, Wendy Whelan, Miranda Weese, Jared Angle, Janie Taylor, Alexandra Ansanelli, and Sebastien Marcovici. They are performing to show their support for Gulfshore Ballet and its co-founder, Melinda Roy, a former NYCB Principal Dancer. NBC-2 News Anchors Craig Wolf and The BravolBallet committee of Friends of the Gulfshore Ballet Kellie Burns will serve as event emcees. to support ballet and bring the best to Southwest Florida.
