Here’s what went down at last night’s Mad Hot Ballet gala

Last night, 2,000 of the city’s gilded elite turned out for the National Ballet of Canada’s annual fundraising gala at Toronto’s Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. This year’s soirée, Deco-Danse, was inspired by the roaring ‘20s and featured the world premiere of principal dancer and choreographer Siphesihle November’s solo All That Is Within, performed by first soloist Tanya Howard. Guests sipped Prohibition-era-inspired cocktails, enjoyed an elegant dinner catered by Sash Simpson and danced the night away alongside the National Ballet of Canada’s talented performers.
