Piqua Arts Council searching for dancers for annual fundraiser

For those who miss stealing the spotlight and dream of dancing, the Piqua Arts Council is offering a unique opportunity to live both those fantasies while benefitting a good cause! Volunteers are needed to participate in this year’s Dancing with the Piqua Stars happening in-person August 28 at Romer’s Catering, 201 Robert M. Davis Pkwy., Piqua.

Dancers must have some connection to Piqua, and will receive training from local experts and instructors from around the area. The couples will be learning 2-minute dance routines from one of the following categories: hip-hop, ballroom, jazz or line dancing. The rehearsal will take place Friday, August 27, with the final performance and competition on the following day.

Each dancer will be expected to fundraise at least $4,000 for charity, and will be featured on the arts council’s website where individual donations can be made. Nominate dancers at www.PiquaArtsCouncil.org, or contact the Piqua Arts Council at (937) 773-9630.
