The Star Society at The Joffrey Ballet
“I first saw the Joffrey when I was a dance student in 1972. It was pure magic. I was hooked for life. What I have learned about the arts, and dance, in particular, is that it has the power to connect us in an unspoken yet powerful language, which is not only invaluable but irreplaceable. My husband, Rich, and I have included the Joffrey in our estate plans to ensure that our experiences can be passed on to future dance artists and audiences alike. I simply cannot imagine a world devoid of classical ballet and dance.” — Andrea Winship
The Star Society is a visionary group of ballet enthusiasts who have made special commitments in their estate plans to ensure the Joffrey’s remarkable work continues for generations to come.
