The dance company will be hosting an epic tour of the Gala House. Built in 1973 by LA-based architect Cary Bigman, the home is part mid-century modern and part hotel-chic. The interior went through a massive renovation in 2018, making this a tour not to be missed.
Visitors will be greeted with a welcome champagne, and the tour the will begin. Throughout your time in the home, impromptu dance performances will happen all around you in rooms throughout the house. You’ll be served hors d’oeuvre and led to the backyard for an intimate dance performance exclusively for visitors to the Gala House. It’s sure to be an exciting and one-of-a-kind home tour. The tour and performance will take place on February 22, 2020. You can find more information and tickets here.
