We regret to announce that we will be postponing the 2020 Dancing With Our Stars once again, it will now be held in May of 2022. In order to put on the best event possible, we have to ensure the safety of our dancers, dance pros, staff, and community.
This event, which is for the benefit of the U.P. Hospice Foundation, began in 2013 and has been the sole fundraiser for the hospice foundation. It is the hope of all involved that by 2022 we will be able to once again fill Forest Roberts Theatre and provide the fun and excitement that this show has consistently brought since its inception.
While it was a difficult decision to postpone DWOS Superheroes & Villains Edition to Wednesday, May 25, and Thursday, May 26, 2022, it was made for the well-being of our dance couples, dance professionals, logistical coordinators, and our community. With this change, the majority of the cast originally committed to 2020 will continue with their journey to perform in DWOS Superheroes and Villains.
All sponsorships will carry-over to the 2022 performance. If you purchased tickets for the performance and would like to ‘beat the rush’ for next year’s ticket sales, you may keep your existing seats and use them for the 2022 performance. If you would like to support the hospice foundation, please visit our web page at uphomehealth.org/hospice-foundation/
If you have questions or want to request a refund on your tickets, please call U.P. Home Health & Hospice at (906) 225-4545. ... See MoreSee Less
