The 2015 DC’S DANCING STARS GALA is sure to be an even bigger success than our inaugural year! In 2014 the Gala donated over $165,000 to some amazing charities including the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We want you to join in on this years excitement! This is a new fundraiser that incorporates 12 local DC Celebrities who are each committed to learning a professionally choreographed dance routine they will perform with a FRED ASTARIE DANCE STUDIO – FAIRFAX Professional at the Gala on OCTOBER 24, 2015.
Each Star will undergo an amazing journey as they prepare for their chance to win the 2015 DC’s Dancing Stars Gala mirror ball trophy, all in the spirit of giving back to our community! They will need your “votes” in advance as well as the audience “votes” the night of the gala. All the “votes” will be combined with the celebrity judges’ scores to determine who will be crowned our 2015 DC’S DANCING STAR GALA CHAMPION. The monies raised will go to some amazing charities.

The Latin Fashion Week event I attended, builds awareness and supports the LUZS Foundation. This is definitely a cause I believe strongly in and look forward to doing more work for in the future.
The Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square in Washington D.C. was a beautiful backdrop for this impressive evening. |
