The Fashion Dolls’ second annual extravaganza. Fashion. Dance. Theater. A supermodel’s adventure. This springtime bash features styles from local tastemakers, saucy live dancing by the Dolls, and couture cocktails.
As the night kicks off, guests partake in signature cocktails, fabulous food and a unique silent auction in the charming lobby of the historic Ritz Theater. Then they are then invited to enjoy the show. Fashion and dance explode onto the stage creating a wild, otherworldly effect. After the performance, the audience is invited back stage for a bazaar filled with novel goods for sale from local shop owners, designers and artists. And, of course, guests enjoy more cocktails and food while mingling with the performers and models.
Fashion Ball is the only fundraising event that the company does in the season. Proceeds from this event will go to furthering all of the programs of Ballet of the Dolls, including: education and outreach programs, company training, archive and documentation, and most importantly, to help insure that there is a bright future to foster new work by the company for the next 25 years.
“And to think, I worried my sparkly eyeshadow was a little bit over the top. Leave it to stylist, dancer, dreamer Grant Whittaker to create an event that brings together burlesque dancers, pageant queens and upper crust clients from Edina boutique Grethen House. The Fashion Ball at the Ritz Theater in Minneapolis combined over-the-top dance numbers by Ballet of the Dolls with runway segments featuring some knock-out looks … It was glittery, raw and irreverent, as only male dancers in wedding dresses and head-to-toe leopard print can be. Fun. Exactly what fashion should be.”
