CHICAGO—Thodos Dance Chicago’s 23rd Anniversary Winter Concert, titled this year Chicago Inspired, promises a rich tapestry of dance ranging from rarely performed works by Chicago native and Broadway legend Bob Fosse to cutting edge present day creations with a vibrant Windy City edge. Immediately following the performance, Thodos Dance will host a Chicago Inspired post-show VIP gala on the enclosed stage of the beautiful Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park.

Thodos Dance’s Chicago Inspired concert is Saturday, March 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Harris Theatre for Music and Dance, 205 E. Randolph St., Chicago. Concert tickets (only) are $15-$65; 40% off for students and seniors. Purchase tickets at the Harris by calling (312) 334-7777 or visiting harristheaterchicago.org.

Tickets to the company’s Chicago Inspired performance and post-show gala are $275 or $500. In addition, gala guests will be treated to VIP seating at the concert, and cocktails and hors d’oeuvres during intermission in the Donor Room with a performance by the Thodos Dance Chicago Youth Ensemble.

After the performance, at approximately 9:30 p.m. gala guests will be spirited pied-piper style to the Harris back stage to enjoy signature cocktails in the Green Room. Then guests will be escorted on a festive, Chicago Inspired decorated elevator to the glass enclosed stage of the Pritzker Pavilion.

With incredible night views of Millennium Park and the Art Institute as an appropriate backdrop, the post-concert gala will continue the company’s celebration of Chicago as its inspiration for creativity and community. Thodos’ supporters will enjoy a fabulous Chicago Inspired menu, open bar, savory passed hors d’oeuvres, coffee and dessert stations.

Don’t forget your dancing shoes, because the enclosed Pritzker stage will have a night club feel when some of Chicago’s finest young dance professionals join their guests on the Pritzker stage to dance the night away to live music.
