There's no time like springtime! Carmel Dance Festival is thrilled to present Ballare Carmel in an intimate evening of exquisite dance, live music, wine, and charcuterie. The much-talked-about dance company will perform excerpts of IHSAN RUSTEM's "Just Don't End Up In The Pinecone, Honey," as well as a sneak peek at their newest piece by JAMES GREGG. Meet new company members and treat yourself to splendid live music by one of the most prolific violinists on the concert circuit, EDWIN HUIZINGA.

Tickets for this special event at Blue Fox Cellars are $100. Proceeds raised during the FUNdraiser will help support Ballare Carmel's efforts to premiere works complete with lighting, costume, and set design this fall. Seating is limited. Current county Covid-19 guidelines will be followed.
