After the last bow, the guests moved to the dance floor – joined by Ballerinas themselves – for a jubilant festival, which confirmed the mission of the gala: to provide scholarship and training opportunities to young dancers of all backgrounds.
Or as Andy Cohen kept it, pointing on a platform filled with young talent: “Every ticket helps to make tonight it possible.”
