The Neel Resling Halpern Foundation held a special scholarship event on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at the Danish Royal Theater.

The evening commenced in the foyer of the Balcony, where one of the theater’s great dancers, Mette Bødtcher, spoke about the evening’s performance,”Hübberiet” and the traditional theater. The performance started with former scholarship recipient, Femke Mølbak Slot, dancing with current scholarship recipient, the solo dancer, Gregory Dean, who has been with the ballet since 2008. The pas de deux performed was “That’s Life” is from Twyla Tharp’s show, “Come Fly Away.”

After the performance, canapés and wine were served in the Balcony foyer, where sisters Lisa and Michelle Resling Halpern awarded this year’s scholarship to Gregory Dean.
