Inspired by the production of The Great Gatsby, Kansas City Ballet’s BARRE KC Soirée brought the 1920s to life on April 18th at Union Station Kansas City. Guests were wowed by fabulous decor, cocktails, and wonderful performances from the Ballet’s Second Company dancers. The event benefits the Reach Out and Dance program, which brings free dance education to nearly 1,000 third and fourth graders across Our Town each year.
