About Us
Our Story:
Founded in 1994 under the Black cultural production organization Black Community Arts and Student Theater (Black CAST), Eleganza has grown into one of Harvard’s largest student-run events, drawing a sold-out audience of over 1,500 attendees each year. This highly anticipated night brings together students of all identities to celebrate fashion, dance, music, and creative expression through an electric and innovative live show. Eleganza remains committed to public service, donating its proceeds annually to nonprofit and social-justice-oriented organizations that align with our mission.
What is Eleganza?
Eleganza is a large-scale, student-produced fashion and dance show that transforms Harvard’s campus into a fully staged performance environment. Each year, the production combines original choreography, custom fashion design, live performance, lighting, sound, and music into a single immersive night.
From creative direction and casting to stage design, technical production, and marketing, Eleganza is entirely run by students.
