This fundraiser event will be held on February 25 at 7pm at the Earl Smith Strand Theatre on the Historic Marietta Square to benefit GMDT. “This super fun event completely sold out two years in a row, and was the talk of the town for several weeks. We are very excited and hope people will join us again, and help us take our third annual fundraiser event to a whole new level,” says Jill Hanke, chair of this year’s Dancing With The Stars.
Georgia Metropolitan Dance Theatre is a non-profit, student-based company housed in the studios of Georgia Dance Conservatory on the Marietta Square. Formally known as the Ruth Mitchell Dance Theatre, Georgia Metropolitan Dance Theatre’s passion for the performing arts remains the same as it strives to provide Georgia audiences with dance performances that entertain, educate and delight audiences of all ages. Under the artistic direction of Ashleigh Whitworth, GMDT has become a name in dance synonymous with high quality dance performances where students and professionals dance together on stage, and where the arts are celebrated through a range of diverse dance programs and community involvement.
