Ann Van Ness, Auction Chair once again has outdone herself in gathering extraordinary one-of-a-kind experience for this year’s auction: a week for three couples at Le Charmois, the Van Ness family chateau in the Loire Valley, a walk on role in next year’s 30th Jubilee; a 7 day Mediterranean cruise on a luxury Seabourn yacht; 4 nights on the exclusive private island Kamalame in the Bahamas; tickets to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and the impossible to get reservations at Rao’s Restaurant.

Ann Marie DeAngelo, producer and director of the high energy, non-stop 90 minute show of the best in the world of dance gave a little hint that this year’s production will travel the length of the city from the 5 Points to Brooklyn to The Bronx – all in dance.

Special guests will also include Chuck Scarborough and Karen Ziemba. There will be electrifying performances by artists from: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater; American Ballet Theatre; Arthur Murray Dance Center, Columbus Circle; Ballet Hispanico; Jonah Bokaer; Dance Theatre of Harlem; Industrial Rhythm; Silva Dance Company; Tony Waag’s American Tap Dance Foundation plus a special appearance by the Rockette Alumnae.
