This week, Atlanta Ballet presented its 27th Annual Corps de Ballet Fashion Show & Luncheon and raised over $420,000 to support the artistic vision of Atlanta Ballet and educational programming of the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education.

Presented by Neiman Marcus, the Luncheon featured a fashion show of Akris’ Fall/Winter 2025 collection, an exclusive performance from Atlanta Ballet 2 and a live auction with proceeds directly benefiting Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education.

Recognized as one of the top dance education facilities in the country, the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education provides an opportunity for everyone in the community to discover the joys of dance. One of the Centre for Dance Education’s initiatives is its community engagement programs, which expose 1,200 metro Atlanta students to dance by integrating dance classes into the standard academic curriculum of local public schools and community centers with before, during and after-school programs. The Annual Corps de Ballet Fashion Show & Luncheon is instrumental to supporting Atlanta Ballet’s efforts in expanding access to dance education.
