Did you make a resolution to be more culturally-savvy this year? Well, if you’re looking for plans tonight (other than Gossip Girl!), the Joffrey Ballet is hosting an event to celebrate the Grand Opening of their Academy of Dance and to raise money for their scholarship fund. Attendees will have the opportunity to watch two live music and dance sets by Dirty Dancing cast members and enjoy a cocktail reception with the performers and Joffrey dancers. You’ll also get to bid on a bunch of items in a silent auction!

The event will be held at the new Joffrey Tower (10 E. Randolph) from 6-8p. Tickets are $50 at the door! And, for your viewing pleasure…
