DANCING WITH THE TAHOE STARS 2026: HEROES & VILLAINS
Tahoe Arts Project presents the 13th Annual Dancing with the Tahoe Stars, returning to Bally’s Lake Tahoe on Saturday, October 10, 2026! Doors open 5:30 and the show starts at 6:30.
This year, ten local community stars will team up with professional dancers to take on Heroes & Villains, bringing unforgettable characters, creative storytelling and plenty of surprises to the ballroom. After weeks of rehearsals, each couple will take the stage for one night of incredible performances, friendly competition and community spirit.
Couples will compete for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy while raising funds for Tahoe Arts Project, a local nonprofit dedicated to bringing performing arts and cultural enrichment to students throughout the Lake Tahoe region.
Dancing with the Tahoe Stars has become one of Tahoe’s favorite fall traditions, bringing the community together for an unforgettable night while supporting Tahoe Arts Project’s arts education programs for local youth. Join Tahoe Arts Project at Bally’s Lake Tahoe and cheer on your favorite stars as our Heroes & Villains take the stage.
