Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just want to enjoy great music and a good cause, everyone is welcome. Dance all night to our DJs’ selection of great West Coast Swing, Cha-Cha, Line Dances, Night Club Two-Step, Country Two-Step, and more!

Fabulous Fun:
‘Virtual mutt strutt’: Email wagsandwhiskers@michelledance.com pictures of your furry/feathered/scaly/finny pets (or pet angels) by Friday, Nov 7 to participate in our slideshow ‘Pet Parade’.
‘Fun with cat toys!’ dance mixer: You read that right! But you’ll have to come to the benefit dance to find out what happens when a roomful of dancers and a bushel of cat toys are combined… And, yes, the cat toys will be donated to the shelters after the dance.
Wine pull: $15 buys your pick of our selection of wrapped wine bottles (average value $25). All proceeds donated to the shelters!
Purrfectly imperfect towel and blanket drive: Clean out the unwanted towels and blankets from your linen closet and help shelter pets sleep more comfortably! Your unwanted goods will be ‘pupcycled’ into cozy bedding for the shelters’ residents.
Doggone it, you never play my favorite tune: Got a musical request? Email wagsandwhiskers@michelledance.com by Friday, Nov 7 and we’ll do our best to get your song into the lineup.
