Tickets are now on sale for both our Friday, Sept. 19 opening performance and our main event on Saturday, Sept. 20.
Half our cast this year are married couples who will be joining forces in fundraising and rehearsing together to bring more excitement to the stage as celebrities dance with their spouses. We still have our traditional celebrities paired with local pro-dancers to stay true to our roots. The season successfully launched on April 25 as we revealed this year’s cast to the public.
Tickets are now on sale for both our Friday, Sept. 19 opening performance and our main event on Saturday, Sept. 20. Pick your favorite dancer and follow along throughout the summer to watch fundraising totals grow all the way to the big night. Voting for your favorite dancer is a direct donation to the Clubs and qualifies for the AZ Charitable Tax Credit. Sponsorships are available for local businesses to share their partnership with the Clubs and receive tickets and marketing for the season.
This year’s cast will be competing for best performance, votes of the night and as always, most dollars raised throughout Season 9. Vote for you favorite dancer and buy tickets to the show today at www.dancingforthestars.net.

About the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Arizona: Local Clubhouses were established almost 30 years ago to fulfill the demand for an affordable, safe and impactful place for youth to be when school is out of session. After-school and summer programs serve Prescott & Prescott Valley youth from all backgrounds, focusing on Academic Enrichment, Health and Wellness, STEM, The Arts, Sports and Recreation, and Character and Leadership. While the organization has greatly advanced its academic success programs over the past years, it also made big strides in advancing its outdoor curriculum. All adventure programs are focused on getting kids to exercise, play, and get outside, all while further developing the sense of community and respect of natural resources. QCBN
