The awards celebrate dance and choreographic excellence onstage.
Nominees for this year's Chita Rivera Awards celebrated their honor at a cocktail party on May 30 at the Lamb's Club.
Originally named the Fred and Adele Astaire Awards, the recipients will be announced on September 11. Randy Skinner will direct, and Tommy Tune will be presented with a lifetime achievement award.
The mission of the Chita Rivera Awards is to celebrate dance and choreographic excellence and the awards seek to continue that vision by not only celebrating the superb achievement of each nominee but by recognizing the immeasurable talents and passion of every theatrical choreographer and dancer.
