Gala Recap!
The 13th annual Dancing with the Stars of Charlotte Gala was an exciting competition between six corporate and community leaders who put their all into not only fundraising but perfecting a creative dance routine with their Charlotte Ballet dancing partner. This year’s benefiting charities include Madelyn’s Fund, Peace through Sport Foundation, Urban League of Central Carolinas, Carolina Youth Coalition, Mission 34, Brookstone Schools and The Novant Foundation. We are so excited to give back to these charities with the help of our Star Pairs. Approximately $610,000 will be distributed back to the community through the Stars’ chosen charities.
This year’s Gala was chaired by the 2025 People’s Choice winner, Rad Von Werssowetz, and the 2025 Judge’s Choice winner, Amy Sobel.
We were also lucky enough to have the amazing Frenchie Wilson Brown rejoin us to emcee the evening! Frenchie kept the energy going all night long, she is truly the most fun!
Our 2026 Judges’ panel included Mthuthuzeli November, Sherrard Georgius and Ana Ogbueze. All of our judges were incredibly impressed by our Star Dancer Pairs, giving genuine and thoughtful feedback throughout the evening. As usual, it was tough to choose a winning pair as all of our Star Dancer Pairs did a fantastic job!…
