JOIN US FOR A CAUSE
The Spring Gala provides essential support for Saint Louis Ballet’s performance season which offers four major productions annually at the beautiful Touhill Performing Arts Center. Proceeds also fund outreach
programs, which include Tickets for Teachers and Kids, Pirouettes with a Purpose and Pointe to Succeed, our
in-school program that brings the joy of ballet to underserved children in our community.
