This year's lineup features the most diverse array of dance styles ever, from ballroom and Latin to hip hop, Irish dance, and a martial arts routine set to music.

Tickets are $20 general admission, and all proceeds from tickets and voting go directly to services for survivors of domestic violence.

Who doesn't enjoy a live dance show? Plus, proceeds go to support an important cause (from the facebook page): "Project Safe is a 501c3 non-profit organization whose primary mission is to end domestic violence through prevention and educational programs, crisis intervention, ongoing supportive services for survivors of domestic violence and their children, and advocacy/systems change work in our community... Our founders opened their homes so that victims of domestic violence could escape the pain and humiliation of abuse. Today we ask ourselves as an organization, 'What's the equivalent act of courage we must undertake to end domestic violence?'"   

Project Safe helps save and change lives right here at home- and we're all in this together. Let's help support their courageous efforts by attending this fun event. 

The night is sure to be entertaining! Read more about the exciting event's line-up here. It's interactive fun for the whole family that helps strengthen our whole community. 

See you there!
