SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - One of the most popular charity events in South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Arts Project's Dancing With The Tahoe Stars, returns to the stage for the tenth year on October 14 at Bally's Tahoe at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets will be available online on September 8 at TahoeArtsProject.tix.com. Prices range from $15 - $75. More information about the Tahoe Arts Project (TAP) and the event can be found at TahoeArtsProject.org.

Master of Ceremonies this year is defending champion Sara Pierce. She will guide the evening as ten local celebrities and their partners take the stage to compete for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophies. This year, TAP decided to embark on a globe-trotting adventure with the theme “Traveling the World.” Each dynamic duo will sashay across the floor representing a different country through their dance style. The winner will be chosen based on three factors: judges vote, audience text to vote, and money raised for TAP. All proceeds from the event directly benefit TAP and support the mission of providing cultural enrichment and diversity for the community through the performing arts and education with a focus on youth.

Melody Levitt – CO Owner – Tahoe Blue Vodka / Adrian Escobedo
