Join us for Cincinnati's most outrageous, fun and
competitive fundraising event of the year!
Inspired by the hit ABC-TV show Dancing with the Stars, Dancing for the Stars will feature six Cincinnati celebrities paired with some of the area's finest professional dancers in a competition program, where a Dance Champion AND a Fundraising Champion will be crowned. Every ticket sold will help support your dancer and benefit CAA's Arts and Education programs, plus our Overture Awards - the nation's largest locally-run high school arts scholarship competition. Join us in the Historic Music Hall Ballroom to cheer on your favorite Celebrity Dancers and support the arts in Cincinnati!
