Dancing for the Arts is our take on hit show Dancing with the Stars. This exciting annual fundraiser pairs local celebrities with seasoned professionals on the Davis Stage, creating an annual tradition that entertains while raising thousands of dollars to support the arts in our communities.

Behind the scenes, each dance pair hones their steps and sharpens their skills before stepping into the spotlight for an electrifying competition—all competing for the GRAND PRIZE by raising the most money!

The evening features a cocktail buffet, dazzling Dancing for the Arts performances, and a lively after-party where guests and performers dance together until midnight. 

5:00–6:30 pm | Gala reception with cocktail buffet at the Cabarrus Center
7:00–9:00 pm | Dancing for the Arts Showcase in the Davis Theatre
9:30 pm–Midnight | Dancing (Under the Stars) after party at the Cabarrus Center
