WHO WE ARE
Dance With Your Heart Charity Gala is a non-profit organization and event committed to raising awareness and monetary support for charities through dance. Each year our amazing team of volunteer dance instructors are paired with local celebrities looking to bring awareness to a cause close to their hearts. They spend weeks learning a custom-choreographed routine to a song of their choosing, which they then perform at our exciting November Gala. All monetary contributions earned by our celebrities go directly to the charity of their choosing.
Our mission: To inspire and empower people to dance with their heart and dream with their feet. Building local support for worthy causes through the power and joy of dance.

OUR 2026 EVENT: BOOTS & BLING!
This years Dance With Your Heart Charity Gala theme is "Boots & Bling" . We encourage you to dress to impress and bring out your inner "Rhinestone Cowboy". The evening will begin with music, social dancing, appetizers and drinks. From there we will get the performances going with routines and music by the professionals. After that, the celebrity dance competition begins with custom choreographed performances from your favorite local dancers. Once our celebrities are done showing off their months of hard work, we'll wrap up the evening with some social dancing and the announcement of our silent auction and celebrity gala winners.
