June 20, 2026Ruby brought our 1920s party to life!
My daughter recently graduated and is headed to study art history back East, so we planned a French Riviera themed 1920s party.(a world filled with artists and writers languishing at seaside hotels) Ruby was one our central entertainer and performed a 1920s fan dance set to vintage jazz music. She was incredible and completely engaged the audience. The rest of the time she took photos with people, charmed the graduation girl (my daughter) and my 88 year old father-in-law, a former actor/talk radio host, who commented on how she was fully in character, as a cabaret dancer from way back, the entire time. I can't recommend her highly enough. I love fully immersive party themes and Ruby commited entirely to helping me evoke the French Riviera of Hemingway and Matisse. Thank you for an amazing evening!
