The show's producer, Gina Barrera, is a native St. Louisan who discovered the Duets show after becoming a Chicago transplant. She was a huge fan of the Duets For My Valentine shows she saw in the Windy City and brought them to St. Louis last year. This year's performance includes a wide variety of accomplished dancers from all over the country including St. Louis' dancers from The Slaughter Project, Alexandra Ballet and the Missouri Contemporary Ballet from Columbia, MO. Even with a nice steak dinner before the show, it is sure to be less fattening than a big old box of chocolates.
