Similar to Dancing with the Stars, Dance for a Chance pairs dancers with instructors, who work together to create a dance routine, pick accompanying music and practice over the summer before competing in October.
At the same time, the dancers are working within their personal and professional networks – largely via social media – to raise awareness and funds for Youth Emergency Services.
Dancers and instructors will incorporate music, dance moves and costumes into their performances. Attendees are also invited and encouraged to dress up.
