The Dancer’s Alchemy would like to thank everyone that attended the first annual Viva Las Vegas Casino Night at Southern Dance Theatre.

We are very grateful to all of our sponsors for their support and generosity, The Dancers Edge Company Parents, and our “A” Company Dancers for all of their help.

We had a fabulous committee and team whose dedication and commitment made our first Casino Night very successful:

  • Co. Chair: Roger Dunson
  • Marketing: Brittany Patterson
  • Photography: Seth Steinberg
  • Casino music: Ms. Wesa
  • Volunteers: Laura Comas, Dianna Vacco, Cheryl Cimilluca, Michelle Zupo, Ms. Wesa, Alexa Leddy, and Danielle Kiminyo
  • Committee Parent board: Kim Chodor, Jessica Jensen, Renee Leddy, Carole Mastrosimone, Sandra Reategui, Mona Sharma, Stephanie Smith, and Elizabeth Steinberg
  • A TEAM OF UNSTOPPABLE FEMALE SUPER HEROES! I am forever grateful to you and hubbies Alex Chodor, Michael Mastrosimone, Ted Rohrbaugh, and Mike Leddy.

IF YOU MISSED OUT ON ALL THE FUN AND WINNING THIS YEAR! THERE’S ALWAYS VIVA LAS VEGAS 2019.
