Recently, on a
sunny spring afternoon, guests of every age descended upon the newly renovated
The LINE Hotel to support and celebrate Ballet Austin Guild as it presented its
35th Spring fundraiser, An Afternoon of
Enchantment. In fact, for many the tea has become both a new and treasured
annual tradition.
Following a VIP
reception to honor the event’s major supporters, old friends and new began
gathering to mix and mingle over welcome drinks while capturing the moment in
the ever popular photo booth. Guests were dressed in their best tea finery but
the festive hats and fascinators definitely took center stage. The ballroom
doors opened to reveal the enchanted forest beyond and exquisite tables laden
with every kind of delicious treat, tea, and champagne, all designed and
beautifully executed by VP of Fundraising Events and Event Chair Shane Manning
and his devoted team of Guild volunteers. Musicians Anthony Chen and Cory Blais
performed, while Butler Fellowship Program dancers Meredith Stitt and Ellis
Broderick posed for photos with guests in their balletic tutus.

filled to overflowing tempted partygoers waiting for the program that Amanda
Tatom emceed. Guild members enjoyed the opportunity to visit with Stephen
Mills, Ballet Austin Sarah and Ernest Butler Family Fund artistic director,
Cookie Ruiz, Ballet Austin’s Executive Director, and a number of Ballet Austin
performers.
We love that
2019 marks the 44th anniversary of Ballet Austin Guild, a non-profit
organization supporting Ballet Austin’s educational and community programs
benefiting over 57,000 Central Texans each year. The Guild consists of
energetic volunteers who want to learn more about ballet and contribute to one
of Austin’s finest cultural institutions. Proceeds from the event, designed as
prelude to Ballet Austin’s season finale production of the Romantic Era
classic, Giselle, support the Ballet
Austin Academy youth scholarship fund. This fund ensures that no child who has
the talent and desire to study ballet is denied a formal dance education due to
financial concerns.
