The 90 guests who attended the Terminus Ballet School’s fundraiser in late January at the TULA Art Center found themselves part of a moveable feast, all in the cause of supporting the Buckhead organization’s goal of reimagining traditional ballet.

The evening opened in the school’s white box theater where the company and its students displayed their talents. The action then shifted to the atrium for cocktails and a silent auction starring a $3,300 diamond necklace by Buckhead designer Cindy Ensor. Next, the crowd was seated in the Museum of Contemporary Art space for a three-course dinner catered by Chez Montier. The evening wrapped back in the white box where the party went on in the late hours. Co-chairs Celeste Pendarvis and Amy Nelson oversaw the gala that gathered $100,000 for the company and honored Terminus board chair Pamela Wakefield and founding donor James Weis.
