Gala: Pas de Deux

In ballet, a pas de deux—literally “a dance for two”—is an intimate duet, a shared expression of trust, tension, and passion. At our season-opening gala, that idea expands: orchestra and audience, tradition and celebration, all moving together as one. Our Symphony Orchestra is joined by dancers from American Ballet Theatre to set the floor in motion with dance music spanning classical ballet to sweeping ballroom waltzes, sultry tangos, and more; each piece pulsing with the season’s theme of passion.
This unforgettable night is also our largest fundraiser of the year, fueling the artistry and community that define LAMF.
