On Thursday, December 12, 2013, a galaxy of stars will join acclaimed director/choreographer Debbie Allen to raise funds for the non-­‐profit Debbie Allen Dance Academy (DADA) and its city, statewide and international initiatives to fill the much needed void in Arts Education.

Among those slated to perform at Debbie Allen Dance Academy’s “ALL-STAR GALA” are: R&B superstars Chaka Khan and James Ingram; Latin jazz great Arturo Sandoval; actresses Chandra Wilson (“Grey’s Anatomy”) and Tichina Arnold (“Everybody Hates Chris”), and comedians Sinbad and Tommy Davidson. The event also features performances from the American Ballet Theatre and the exceptional DADA Ensemble. “The Tonight Show’s” Rickey Minor directs the music.

Denzel Washington and Debbie Allen host this evening of stellar performances at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus, 10745 Dickson Plaza, Los Angeles, CA at 8:00pm. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster or by calling (310) 202-1711. Proceeds will benefit the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, which offers arts education for youth in the greater Los Angeles area.
