Ballet Arte Academy male dancers awarded scholarships When most people think of ballet, they envision little girls in pink tights and tutus. Within this era, male dancers are no longer just supporting partners. They are stars in their own right and highly in demand in the world of ballet. The Petit Oasis Foundation is a nonprofit organization offering scholarships by audition to boys between the ages of 8 and 18 who strive to be professional ballet dancers. The scholarships are awarded to help cover the students ballet school tuition and/or summer intensive program for that year. Each year the Foundation holds an audition for interested male applicants from across Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties. Each applicant who shows realistic potential to be professional ballet dancers must show, besides excellent training, physical attributes, motivation, intelligence, musicality, personality, improvisation and progress shown compared to previous years. Ballet Arte Academy of Classical Ballet in Solana Beach recently announced that this year, three of its male students were awarded scholarships from the Petit Oasis Foundation: Spencer Lenain (10), Brian Warkentien (13) and Takumi Morin (15).

Cuisine for a Cause: 32nd Annual Celebrity Chefs Cook Gala to benefit UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center
Award-winning chefs from San Diego and across the country will convene in La Jolla for a night of “Epicurean Elegance” and philanthropy on Saturday, April 27, at the 32nd annual Celebrity Chefs Cook Gala. Benefitting the University of California, San Diego Moores Cancer Center, the event will feature 11 prominent chefs preparing their signature hors d’oeuvres paired with fine wine. This year, all proceeds will support the cancer center’s visionary initiative MyAnswertoCancer, which uses DNA analysis to make personalized cancer treatment a reality. The Celebrity Chefs Cook Gala, a local tradition for more than three decades, has raised more than $9 million since its inception to advance cancer research, patient care, community outreach and education programs at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center—the region’s only comprehensive cancer center designated by the National Cancer Institute. Last fall, the center launched MyAnswertoCancer™ with the goal of ending “one size fits all” cancer treatments. By sequencing patient tumor DNA, MyAnswertoCancer™ aims to revolutionize the ability to predict who will respond to a specific treatment and to match each patient with the best drug for a particular tumor. Following the cocktail reception, guests will enjoy an elegant dinner, program and dancing with live music by The Heroes. Tickets are $350 or $500 and sponsorships are available. For details and reservations, call (858) 246-1230 or visitwww.celebritychefscook.org. More information about UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center can be found at www.cancer.
