Oglebay Institute's Stifel Fine Arts Center
Wheeling, West Virginia

Dance has been a vibrant part of Oglebay Institute’s programming for more than eight decades. From traditional folk dance to classical ballet to modern day jazz and hip-hop, OI’s School of Dance presents dance as an art form and a means of self-expression, training dancers of all ages and abilities to be masters of their craft and building a lifelong appreciation for the art of movement. 

Please join us Saturday, October 16 at Oglebay Institute's Stifel Fine Arts Center for a special evening honoring OI’s dance legacy. Your support enables us to continue to provide the very best training and resources to our dedicated and talented students. 

The evening includes heavy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, silent auction and performances by OI Pre-Professional Dance Students and professional dancers Michael Greer and Mara Newbery Greer.
