2026 marks the 20th Anniversary of Minnesota Ballet’s Celebrity Dance Challenge, an annual fundraising event that pairs local celebrities with professional dancers from the company for a fun and competitive evening of dance. Participants perform in a range of styles—such as ballroom, jazz, and contemporary—and audience members vote for their favorites. The event includes a social hour, refreshments, and a high-energy show.
Social hour with appetizers and cash bar starts at 5:30; performance at 7:00 pm in the Depot Theatre.
Proceeds from the Celebrity Dance Challenge support the Minnesota Ballet’s educational programs and its professional dance company, helping sustain its mission of artistic excellence and community engagement.
