Dancers lined the walkway leading into Michael's On East, greeting guests as they came through the door Feb. 6.
The dancers were part of the Sarasota Ballet's Dance-The Next Generation program, which uses dance to encourage at-risk students to continue their academic studies and remain positive about school.
The On Pointe Luncheon, which was previously an evening event and has since become a daytime fundraiser, benefited the Dance-The Next Generation program.
