About DWLAS

A Night to Remember

Dancing with the Lakes Area Stars brings together local “stars” and their pro partners for an unforgettable night of fun, friendly competition, and community spirit—all to support Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity’s mission to provide safe, affordable housing. Each dance pair works hard to fundraise in the weeks leading up to the event, and on the night of the show, audience votes help determine the winning duo. Every dollar raised through dancer fundraising and ticket sales directly supports home building for families in our community. Join us for an inspiring, high-energy evening—and be sure to get your tickets early to cheer on your favorite dancers!

Online ticket sales are available until April 10th at 12:00 PM. Tickets will be available in person at the door at the event. General Admission doors open at 6:30 PM, show starts at 7:00. Ticket purchases are non-refundable.
