Piedmont Arts’ fabulous fundraiser returns with a fresh slate of local celebrities dancing in support of the arts from 3-5 p.m., Saturday, March 14 at Martinsville High School Auditorium.<\/p>\n
The contest features eight teams competing to win the most votes, the highest score from the judges and a set of gorgeous mirror ball trophies.<\/p>\n
Your votes ($1 = 1 vote) benefit your favorite teams and raise money to support Piedmont Arts programming in Martinsville-Henry County. Each team’s final score is made up of a combination of your votes and the judges\u2019 scores. The team with the highest final score wins the grand prize. To double your votes ($1 = 2 votes) and make those dollars really count, you can apply your total donation toward a Piedmont Arts membership. A $40 minimum is required for this option.<\/p>\n
Admission tickets are $30 for reserved seating, $20 for general admission and $10 for students in grades K-12.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"dancing-for-the-arts-2026","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.visitmartinsville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DFTA-Piedmont-Arts.jpg","id":12898,"extension":"jpg","width":1875,"height":1875,"filesize":304636,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":400,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":30727,"url":"https:\/\/www.visitmartinsville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DFTA-Piedmont-Arts-400x400.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":130310,"url":"https:\/\/www.visitmartinsville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DFTA-Piedmont-Arts-1024x1024.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":7206,"url":"https:\/\/www.visitmartinsville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DFTA-Piedmont-Arts-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":768,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":85204,"url":"https:\/\/www.visitmartinsville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DFTA-Piedmont-Arts-768x768.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1536,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":233751,"url":"https:\/\/www.visitmartinsville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DFTA-Piedmont-Arts-1536x1536.jpg"},"med_landscape":{"width":800,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":67946,"url":"https:\/\/www.visitmartinsville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DFTA-Piedmont-Arts-800x600.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-03-14
