People  & Parties With Panache New York City Ballet
Dance with the Dancers


The finale of the dancers' skit—a highlight of the evening.

On Monday, June 9, New York City Ballet's (NYCB) 24th annual Dance with the Dancers benefit, When in Rome, brought true bacchanalian revelry to the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center. 630 guests helped raise over $300,000.

The evening began with cocktails on the Terrace of the New York State Theater, followed by a seated dinner on the Promenade, which would have made the Roman god Bacchus proud.  The highlight of the evening was the show-stopping act choreographed and performed by NYCB dancers, which opened the dance floor for partying into the night.  The dress code for the evening was Roman chic.

Since 1985, Dance with the Dancers has provided the unique opportunity for business professionals and celebrities from the fashion, film, and performing arts worlds to interact with New York City Ballet and its dancers, at an event that has been called one of the parties of the year.

Event chairmen were: Jennie Tarr Coyne, Allison Sarofim, and Tatiana and Campion Platt. Dancer chairmen were: Megan Fairchild, Georgina Pazcoguin, and Sean Suozzi. Corporate chairmen were: Carol A. Smith, SVP/Group Publishing Director of ELLE and Vincent Ottomanelli, president, Ferragamo USA.
