The Brass Cafe & Saloon and the Vision Studio of Performing Arts will collaborate this Valentine’s Day to bring a dinner and dance event to Mount Pleasant.

The Vision Studio of Performing Arts has been open for 15 years, and just recently moved to 115 S. Main St., right across from the Brass Cafe & Saloon, 128 S. Main in Mount Pleasant.

“There was just a natural connection, and it was an obvious choice to collaborate to bring alternative Valentine’s Day options,” said Heather Trommer-Beardslee, business manager at Vision Studio of Performing Arts.

The evening will include dinner from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., ballroom dance lessons at VSPA from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m, and open ballroom dancing from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. If participants do not want to take part in the lessons there will be one of the three studios at VSPA open for dancers who already know how.

Trommer-Beardslee said she is looking forward to working with another business in downtown Mount Pleasant.

Tickets are $50, with a maximum of 32 tickets available, and there are very few left.

Both the Brass Cafe and VSPA were selling tickets for the event. The Brass Café has sold all of their tickets, according to manager Jamie Pyecroft.

Tickets can be purchased Monday through Thursday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the VSPA. The profits will go toward paying for the event.

The Brass Cafe will still have their regular business hours on Saturday, Feb. 14, and they anticipate a lot of business, according to Pyecroft. There will be a three course meal served, in addition to the regular menu.

According to the chef and owner, Emma Currie, there will be several things to choose from outside of the regular menu. Appetizers will include lobster risotto, goat cheese tarts, and scallops, main courses will include herb-crusted lamb and Kobe sirloin steak.

For dessert there will be chocolate fondue for two and vanilla Panna Cotta.
