THE PARTY Thodos Dance Chicago celebrated its 20th anniversary during a Roaring ’20s-themed gala at the Chicago Cultural Center. THE SCENE More than 250 guests were treated to 20 Years in 20 Minutes, a special performance highlighting a few favorite dances from the past 20 years, and Tony Award-winning choreographer and honorary gala chair Ann Reinking made a special appearance. The evening included a seated dinner, silent auction and dancing, all to the sounds of Swing Assembly. THE BOTTOM LINE The gala was an enormous success, and raised $85,000 to support Thodos’ mission of dance education, creation and performance. Photography by Bob Mihlfried
