Dancing with the Stars of Casper is an annual fundraising event benefitting the Mercer Family Resource Center. The event is just a few weeks away on Oct. 26, 2024, at 6 p.m. at the Ford Wyoming Center. Our performers are going to be “gettin’ jiggy with it” as our celebrity panel of judges are hoping the dancers will give them “what they want…what they really, really want.” The event will leave you yelling BOOYAH!

For the first year ever, three talented dance studios from Casper are coming together to kick off the night in our Opening Act. Rising Star Tumbling and Dance Studio, Dance Evolutions, Inc. and 307 Dance Academy are joining forces to answer the age old question: Did “Video Kill the Radio Star?”

Closing out the night out will be a Finale performance by Casper College Dancers, choreographed by Jodi Youmans-Jones. Get ready to have your socks rocked off. They are bringing iconic MTV to the stage that will leave you feeling like the party shouldn’t be over!
