Corella,Tuttle,Cojocaru,Kobborg at City Center

[nysusan]

Hi,

Corella/Tuttle and Cojocaru/Kobborg are among the ballet dancers scheduled to perform at City Center in the "Career Transitions for Dancers" Benefit on 10/27. I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but I haven't seen mention of this elsewhere on the site and I thought some of the NY based members would be interested. It's a gala benefit, so the good seats are really expensive but the seats in the rear mezanine - rear gallery go for $45 - $20.

Here are the details from the City Cener site http://www.citycenter.org/events/event_det...vent_code=CTD04
