If you missed it last year, here’s your chance to enjoy one of Pittsburgh’s hottest charity events!

Dancing with the Celebrities of Pittsburgh is an annual formal evening of dinner and dancing. Twelve Pittsburgh celebrities compete by performing a ballroom dance chosen by their professional dance instructors. At the end of the celebrity competition, our guests are invited to cast the final vote for Pittsburgh’s 2nd Annual Dancing with the Celebrities of Pittsburgh winner.

The entertainment begins with The Dance of our Champions, those children and adults living with the daily challenges of Type 1 diabetes. Then, following the celebrity competition, guests are invited onto the dance floor for a rumba line dance lesson and an exciting performance by our professional dance instructors. The evening ends with the announcement of our celebrity winner and two hours of social dancing to live music by Swingtet 8.

This event is sponsored by the Independent Professional Dance Instructors of Pittsburgh and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation.
