Only TACA could bring together two leaders in diverse fields together for the benefit of the performing arts. So, this package allows Dallas dance maven Gayle Halperin with legendary Chef Dean Fearing to provide a feast* for the eye and the tummy. No, Dean will not be dancing and Gayle won’t be cooking, but the two of them are combining their talents for this one-of-a-kind package for the TACA Custom Auction Gala.

Following the death of Dallas’ dance wunderkind Bruce Wood, Gayle Halperin became a driving force to continue his legacy. After all it was Gayle who “approached Wood about restarting the Bruce Wood Dance Project and moving to Dallas in 2011.” Following Bruce’s death, she spearheaded the effort to create Dallas DanceFest with its debut in August 2014 and an encore this past September 4-6 at Dallas City Performance Hall featuring 20 companies over three days.

The winner of this TACA Custom Auction package will host a private performance of “dance works curated” by Gayle for six couples at the new Bruce Wood Dance Gallery located in the Design District.
Following the presentation, the guests will no doubt be hungry for food and to discuss the evening’s program. No ordinary meal could be served up. Instead it will art-loving, “Father of Southwestern Cuisine” Chef Dean Fearing. The world-famous chef will provide a multi-course dinner.
