About Tampa Bay's Dancing with the Stars
On Saturday, September 11, 2010, Julie Weintraub's Hands Across the Bay will present this year's Tampa Bay's Dancing with the Stars, an interactive Ballroom Dance Competition.  The event will be held at the stunning Pepin's Hospitality Centre and will feature epicurean delights, phenomenal auction items and remarkable entertainment by Fred Astaire Dance Studios of Tampa Bay. This exciting and innovative black-tie affair capitalizes on the current popularity of ballroom dancing, reality based television and the overwhelming success of previous years.

Proceeds from the event will go directly to support the mission of the following worthy charities: Kid's Charity of Tampa Bay, Moffitt Cancer Center and Pepin Heart Hospital.

Patterned after the tremendously popular ABC television show, Dancing with the Stars , in the midst of its tenth season, this unique event was the first to be produced locally in 2008 and year after year has had unprecedented growth and success. With the overwhelming attendance, response and success of the first two years, we are putting all of our resources into ensuring this year's event is record breaking!

Our exclusive partnership with Fred Astaire Dance Studios of Tampa Bay will allow our Celebrity Star Dancers the opportunity to be paired with a professional dance instructor who will make certain that they dazzle the crowd.  The Celebrity Star Dancers are local community personalities, leaders and celebrities who will capture the audience with grace, glitz and glamour.

Each of the dance teams, the Celebrity and their professional partner, will perform one ballroom dance of their choice. Performances will be judged by National and International Ballroom Competition Adjudicators combined with the votes cast by the audience.

Tampa Bay's Dancing with the Stars 2010 is being chaired by one of Tampa Bay's most notable and community involved individuals, Gold & Diamond Source's own, Julie Weintraub. Julie has already received great interest from individuals who want to dance as well as sponsor the event. The lasting impact this event has had will enable Hands Across the Bay to support many people in Tampa Bay who need it most.

The steps our dancers take on the dance floor are representative of the many steps that will be taken by Hands Across the Bay to improve the lives of many Tampa Bay residents. We at Hands Across the Bay and all of those that we serve, thank you in advance for supporting and most of all enjoying, Tampa Bay's Dancing with the Stars 2010.
