Salt Creek Ballet celebrated 40 years of brilliant dancing with a Nutcracker Gala at LaGrange Country Club. Parents of dancers, alumni of the school and company, board members, and friends enjoyed dinner whilst Salt Creek Ballet dancers and guest artists performed. After the dazzling display of talent and grace, guests took to the dance floor themselves. Thanks to generous sponsors, a lively auction, and inspired giving, Partner With Us raised funds for the Nutcracker season and the next 40 years of this beloved organization. saltcreekballet.org
