Vassili Sulich, then the principal dancer with the Folies Bergere at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino, brought together a group of ballet dancers from the Las Vegas entertainment industry. They presented a series of dance concerts at the University of Nevada, igniting a spark of artistic appreciation.
