"Wine & Dance" is an annual event founded in 2011, representing the Charlotte dance community. Each year several local professional dance choreographers are chosen to present work, who show an appreciation and dedication towards engaging the greater community with art and dance in innovative ways. "Wine & Dance" provides the audience with a non-traditional dance concert, engaging their five senses, and receiving a taste of what Charlotte has to offer through a selection of local choreographers, dancers, and (of course) wine! Throughout the evening, each dance is paired with a wine that is sampled by the audience during the presentation of that specific work. Needless to say, it is a very exciting, very artsy, and very satisfying event for both the audience and performers!
