Make your plans now for Spring Fête, a joyful and entertaining event with culturally-inspired cuisine to support Backhausdance, Orange County’s award-winning contemporary dance company, founded in 2003 by Jennifer Backhaus, artistic director. Our annual fundraiser, this year held at the elegant Bowers Museum, features special performances by Backhausdance company members, a varied silent auction, raffles, stunning visual media presentations of recent work and projects, surprises, and of course - a dance party - with music curated by our very own Backhausdance artists!  

Enjoy cocktails, tray-passed h’ors d’oeuvres and a three-course dinner designed to please your palate prepared by the culinary arts treasure, Tangata, at the museum.
