Top Houston Chefs and Ballet Dancers Heat Up the Kitchen Together: Talk About an En Pointe Party

An elegant and electric night that mingles wine and top-shelf food is in sight with the Houston Ballet preparing to host its annual Raising the Barre presented by BB&T. The Ballet challenges its dancers to act as sous chefs for some of Houston’s best chefs on this night. The dancers assist in the preparation of “A Dinner in Four Acts” alongside top chefs.

The Houston Ballet dancers will act as inspiration for the creations served during the dinner. Guests will enjoy a four-course meal from Artisans chef Jacques Fox, Uchi chef Chris Davies, One Fifth chef Nick Fine and Fluff Bake Bar’s Rebecca Masson. The chefs will work with Houston Ballet soloists Tyler Donatelli, Monica Gomez, Hayden Stark and Harper Watters to prepare the big meal.

Now, that’s dancing around a kitchen.
