Attendees are also invited and encouraged to dress in trends from the past.
Doors will open at 6 p.m., followed by the first dance of the evening at 7 p.m. Attendees will enjoy an evening of well-choreographed competition, tasty treats, a silent auction and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young people in need.
