Our Dancing with the Stars of Charlotte Gala is back on Saturday, March 7! Join us for an inspiring evening of performances, where every step taken onstage creates momentum offstage.
The Gala pairs are local stars from some of Charlotte’s most esteemed corporations with the professional dancers of Charlotte Ballet, to raise funds for the ballet company and each star’s chosen charity.
