Headling the event is Ze Cheng Liang, a principal dancer with the Philadelphia Ballet. The Festival is sponsored by John Mayer.
For the first time in her esteemed ballet career, Jennifer Grace will grace a stage in her home state of Montana as part of the Festival that features ten ballet dancers. Willow Kipp will perform as an Indigenous dancer, and Ginger Rose Brucker will bring her musical talents as a Harpist.
