Join us at The Black & White Ball!

For over 25 years The Black & White Ball has maintained the reputation as being “Calgary’s Best Party”. A one of a kind evening where guests gather in their Black & White finest and dance the night away to live music by Penguins on Broadway and a DJ, enjoy impromptu performances by the DJD Company and guests, bid on fantastic items in the silent auction and more!

The funds raised through the event allow us to continue to enrich the lives of Calgarians by creating original performances, providing professional training to emerging dancers wishing to specialize in jazz dance and facilitating outreach programs that educate the community about the history and importance of jazz in North American culture.

Check out some of the photos from the last ball below.

The event has a cash bar and light hors d’oeuvres will be served at approximately 10:30pm. (These tasty morsels will not suffice as dinner so please plan accordingly.) This is an 18+ event.
