Dancing with Community Stars - START HERE!
In In this salsa-twist on the hit TV show, six area celebs – three men and three women – were paired up with six of the region's best salsa dance instructors. They had six weeks of rehearsal time to prepare for the showdown on Sunday July 25, at 1:00 p.m. at the Oxnard Salsa Festival.
Community Nonprofits Are the Big Winners
In addition to competing in front of a panel of judges at the Festival, the stars danced for charity. The popular vote was measured by how much money the public donates to the charity of each star’s choice. This unique fundraising opportunity created by the Oxnard Salsa Festival has raised more than $115,000 over three years for local charities!
