Couples rehearsing for Dancing to the Stars stage on March 25
Save the date of March 25 for the Dancing to the Stars competition as local and area couples rehearse their dance moves for this entertaining evening that helps raise funds for scholarships and local charities.
The event is sponsored by Rotary Club of Bowie and the North Central Texas College Montague County Foundation.
Dancing to the Stars last took place in 2019, but was put on hold during the pandemic. It will take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on March 25 at the Bowie Community Center.
Tickets are $50 and include dinner. They go on sale on March 2. Seating is limited so guests are encouraged to buy tickets early from the dance group you would like to support. Ticket sales count as votes when purchased from the couple.
Sponsorships for Dancing to the Stars are still being accepted. If you or your business would like to support this event contact Janis Crawley at 940-531-8201 or janis@bowietexasedc.com.
Seven couples are scheduled to take to the stage. They are: Phyllis Matlock and Peter Johnson, Eric Steinkopff and Christie Craddock, Joseph and Shayla Delgado, Frankie Pair and Jazmin Briza, Maddie Ferguson and Kaden Shelton, Dylan Slade and McKinsey Cleveland and Jill Gardner and Ron Moses.
The couples will be vying for the prestigious mirror ball trophy and the People’s Choice Award.
Proceeds will fund scholarships for students attending the NCTC Bowie campus and support local charities and causes supported by the Bowie Rotary Club.
