SCD Welcome Party Raises $50,000 for Studio Fund

Business

On March 27, donors and subscribers to Sarasota Contemporary Dance were invited to a "welcome home" gathering at the Company's new home studio at 1400 Boulevard of the Arts, Suite 300 in the Historic Rosemary District. Following a reception and tours of the space, guests assembled in the spacious dance studio to hear remarks by Artistic Director Leymis Bolaños Wilmott, view a segment of a dance duet by choreographer Kristin O' Neal, performed by Melissa Coleman Sperber and Charlotte Johnson, and get a sneak peak of the company's 2018-19 season, "Rooted." Encouraged by board members, several donors stepped forward to raise over $50,000 for the Studio Fund and performance sponsorship. The event was catered by the Rosemary District's Lolita Tartine with drawing gifts provided by neighborhood businesses Five Petals Holistic Health and Empire Dance Studios.
