Celebrating Together — from Near and Far
Join us for
Boston Dance Alliance’s Virtual 2020 Gala
Sunday, June 14 from 4:30-6 p.m.
Thanks for your patience as we redesigned Boston Dance Alliance’s 2020 honor ceremonies with online tributes to Margot Parsons, Myran Parker-Brass, and Alicia Downey!
Wear something festive, pour your favorite beverage, and find some ideas below for great restaurants where you can order delicious food and drinks that are favorites of our honorees!
The fun begins 4:30 pm with mixing and mingling on Zoom.
At 5:00 pm the party moves to a private Vimeo channel as we honor three accomplished women:
- Beloved local choreographer, dancer and ballet teacher Margot Parsons, with the 2020 Dr. Michael Shannon Dance Champion Award
- Arts education leader and advocate Myran Parker-Brass, with the 2020 BDA Unsung Hero Award; and
- Attorney and flamenco devotee Alicia Downey, who steps down from 11-year-plus run on the Boston Dance Alliance Board of Directors, the last four as our enthusiastic Chair.
