The Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Mystic is excited to announce their participation in the "Dancing with our Heroes" Fundraising Gala on November 10th 2013 in New Haven.
The event will feature general dancing, a sit-down dinner, a silent auction, a professional show and the “Dancing with Our Heroes” dance competition. The net proceeds of the event will be donated to The Friends of Fisher House Connecticut for the construction of a Fisher House on the grounds of the West Haven VA. The goal is to raise $200,000.
The “Dancing with Our Heroes” gala will culminate in a Ballroom & Latin Dance competition between our Military Heroes who will each be partnered with a professional dance instructor. Each participating Fred Astaire Dance Studio will provide the instructors and free lessons to help each Hero prepare for the gala. There will be no cost to the Heroes for participation. Winners will be selected by audience votes and a panel of celebrity judges.
