Dancing with the Pueblo Starz is your chance to find out who the "movers and shakers" of Pueblo REALLY are! Well-known Puebloans have agreed to show off their fancy footwork in a fun and friendly dance competition hosted by the Pueblo Downtown Association and designed to raise funds for our Downtown Streetscape project and Christmas decorating.

After a gourmet sit-down dinner, the dance teams take turns presenting their programs, most choreographed by local dance professionals. Dances range from sultry tango to some crazy hip-hop, with music from Bolero to Billie Jean to Boot Scootin' Boogie. In addition to the official judging, we offer our audience the chance to vote for the People's Choice. People's Choice tickets are $1 each or 12 for $10. Ballot box stuffing is encouraged (after all, it IS a fund-raiser)!

July 31, 2017
​I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for inviting us to participate in this year’s event. All of the dancers worked so hard and did such a great job—we almost feel guilty for winning—almost!
Robbin and Nicki are a treasure at R & R [R & R Center for the Performing Arts]. They spent many hours  with us and many more planning choreography and music. We had a great time practicing and planning costumes and speculating about the other dances. We also enjoyed waiting for the different pictures and bios to be revealed on Facebook.
The event planners, judges, emcee and event staff were all positive, helpful and friendly. We felt at ease and encouraged every step of the way.
In short, this is a great annual event to support The Pueblo Downtown Association and various charitable organizations.
Please pass on our sincere gratitude and congratulations to all for a job well done!!
Thanks,
Paul and Laura Toth

Watch for the July 2019 Dancing with the Pueblo Starz event,
