Description

Youth Emergency Services (YES) is proud to announce the dancer/instructor lineups for its 13th Annual Dance for a Chance fundraiser Thursday, October 13, at the Omaha Design Center.

This year’s event – Disco Nights – features a mix of community and business leaders who will raise money leading up to the night of the event and then compete against one another for two coveted Mirror Ball trophies – one for best dance performance (decided by judges) and one for most funds (votes) raise fund.

Similar to Dancing with the Stars, Dance for a Chance pairs up dancers with instructors, who then work together to create a dance, pick accompanying music and practice over the summer before competing in October.

At the same time, the dancers are working within their personal and professional networks – largely via social media – to raise awareness and money for Youth Emergency Services.

With this year’s theme being Disco Nights, dancers and instructors will wear costumes from the Disco era and incorporate dance elements from that period in their performances. Attendees are invited to dress in 1970s/Disco attire as well.

Lindsay Corporation returns as this year’s Presenting Sponsor, as does Medical Solutions as the YES Champion Sponsor. Media sponsors are Midlands Business Journal and metroMagazine, print sponsors; KMTV 3 News Now, TV sponsor; and iHeart Radio, radio sponsor.
