2024 Dancing with the Queens Stars Gala!

Join us for an extraordinary evening of dinner and entertainment, featuring our legendary community dance competition, Dancing with the Queens Stars!

What is it?

In cabaret fashion, three Queens community leaders are paired up with three of our Queensboro Dance Festival choreographers, and give it their all to compete for the best dance duet for a panel of community judges. Audience also gets to cast their vote to help crown the 2024 Dancing with the Queens Stars Champion with the coveted trophy!

Why should you come?

Besides seeing the best in local dance and community spirit, the best in local Queens cuisine will be served, as well as open bar, and amazing staycation raffle prizes. There's even a chance to be in the audience shout-out section, where you can influence the win!

Enjoy a wonderfully entertaining evening while supporting the Queensboro Dance Festival organization-- all proceeds support the 30+ free dance events, classes, and professional development workshops we provide the Queens community every summer. It is truly the most fun way to support a great cause.
