Dancing for the Stars returns for its 9th season, Dancing in the Moonlight
The premier fundraising event to benefit our local Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Arizona is back! Dancing for the Stars is celebrating its 9th season. Another cast of celebrity fundraisers and local professional dancers will dazzle and delight guests and supporters.
This season’s theme, Dancing in the Moonlight, offers yet another element to keep the show feeling fresh and new, as the event welcomes celebrity couples for the first time to the stage. Half of our cast this year are married couples joining forces in fundraising and rehearsing to bring more excitement to the stage as celebrities dance with their spouses. The event still features traditional celebrities paired with local pro dancers to stay true to our roots. The season successfully launched on April 25th as Dancing for the Stars revealed this year’s cast to the public.
Tickets are now on sale for the Friday, September 19 opening performance and the main event on Saturday, September 20. Pick a favorite dancer and follow along throughout the summer to watch fundraising totals grow to the big night. Voting for a favorite dancer is a direct donation to the Clubs and qualifies for the AZ charitable tax credit. Sponsorships are available for local businesses to share their partnership with the Clubs and receive tickets and marketing for the season.
This year’s cast will compete for best performance, votes of the night, and as always, most dollars raised throughout season 9.
Vote for your favorite dancer and buy tickets to the show at www.dancingforthestars.net.
