Saturday, November 5, 2022 | 6:00 pm
Reinventing the popular show, Dancing with the Stars, this spectacular fundraising event showcases local celebrities paired with professional dancers, all vying for the GRAND PRIZE by raising the most money!
The dance pairs learn their dance steps, hone their skills away from the limelight, then come together to perform in a dance competition on the Davis Theatre stage. This gala evening is filled with a cocktail buffet, Dancing for the Arts performances, and an after-party where the audience and performers dance until midnight.
2022 Dancers Will be Announced and Tickets Go On Sale

Dancing for the Arts History
In 2015, Mayor Scott Padgett brought down the house with his hip hop performance. In 2016, Ann Schrader and Bill Dusch battled onstage for the top prize until the very last minute!! Ann became DFTA's Grand Champion. Bill walked away a winner too, as Concord's new mayor. In 2017, Joan Davis glided across the stage, collecting the top title in front of an adoring audience. And in the fourth season, Dr. Mark Redding cinched the Grand Championship for his Weird-Science-themed dance routine on the Dancing for the Arts stage.
