Description:

FEED is a one-night, live performance show and vendor market rooted in the lore of the vampire, held at Coastal Creative in St. Petersburg, Florida. It blends nightlife, performance art, and a fully realized atmosphere into something that doesn't have a category yet.

Beneath the surface, pole dance performers are competing. Over 20 nationally and internationally acclaimed dancers present their most fully realized acts to be judged, and that competition plays out in real-time across the night, adding tension, stakes, and electricity to the event.

Performers who will make your head turn around. Drag royalty, burlesque, hair hanging, and other specialty acts are woven throughout the night, between the pole dance acts.

This isn't a show you need to watch from one spot. FEED is designed to be wandered: between the stage, the vendor market, the bar, the void, and back again. Every corner of the experience has something in it.

Come dressed as the creature of the night you've always been. FEED is a themed event. Vampire and dark fantasy dress is required. This is your night to commit to the bit. Not sure what to wear? Think fangs, capes, corsets, Victorian gothic, creature glamour, or anything that says, "I belong to the night." You don't have to be in full costume to attend, but, a black outfit is an easy go-to.

Our show sells out. We don't say that to pressure you. We say it because it's happened before and people were turned away at the door. Tickets go quickly. Don't wait. Tickets for VIP and GA tables, seats, and standing room can be purchased through the Original Sin website:

Come see a special holiday performance of the classic "Nutcracker" ballet! Performed by St. Petersburg Ballet.

The story of the “Nutcracker” begins on a magical Christmas Eve in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1872. It is told through the eyes of an eccentric toy-maker, Herr Drosselmeyer and his beloved God-daughter, Clara. Clara must find the courage to believe in the power of love for the enchanted Nutcracker Prince in order to save him from the evil Mouse King. The Ballet features dancing children, mischievous boys, a Siamese Warrior, toy soldiers, giant mice, sword fights, Snowflakes, Spanish dancers, Buffoons, Waltzing Flowers and the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier.

The St. Petersburg Ballet Company is the official company-in-residence at the Academy of Ballet Arts Inc. (a 501(c)3 Nonprofit). The Academy has trained professional dancers since 1969 and provided professional productions through the St. Petersburg Ballet Company since 1971. In addition to our guest artists the two institutions have launched the careers of dozens of local residents: Calvin Royal III (Principal Dancer at American Ballet Theatre) Saela Rivera-Martinez (Houston Ballet) Eileen Gerdes (San Francisco Ballet) Danielle Glynn (Ballet Palm Beach) Gretal Batista (Houston Ballet) Dominika Afansenkov (Soloist with New York City Ballet) and Briana Reed (Former member of Alvin Ailey).
