Nuance Home and Lifestyle boutique, in the Old Pottery place complex by Laguna Beach Books, will host a shopping event in support of Laguna Dance Festival on Tuesday, December 3 from 5 to 8 p.m. Guests are invited to meet the organization’s founder and artistic director Jodie Gates and mingle over sparkling wine and refreshments. Nuance owner-designer Lisa McDennon will donate 20 percent of the event’s sales to Laguna Dance Festival.

Laguna Dance Festival is one of Orange County’s major annual cultural events and continues to be an important showcase for new and established dance companies and artists. Gates and her board of directors have produced the Festival with a wide variety of world-class dance companies for 15 years, as well as offered master dance classes, free public performances and demonstrations, and a weeklong summer dance intensive. She also currently serves as vice dean and director of the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance.

McDennon and boutique manager Lara Lanfried have curated a large selection of beautiful home accessories, tabletop, holiday gifts, and jewelry perfect for holiday giving. McDennon’s award-winning lighting fixture designs will also be on display.
