The evening is filled with captivating performances, inspiring stories, and the thrill of supporting a worthy cause. For 15 years, Fancy Steps has featured an eclectic roster of celebrity dancers, each showcasing unique performances, to raise funds for the museum’s mission: enhancing educational and cultural awareness for children through the arts and sciences.

This year’s celebrity dancers include Mauro Brito, Myke Connolly, Ashley Cormier, Faith Glanville, Shane Hall, Susie Howard, George Mulry, Liz O’Dair, Tanya Patruno, Josh Powers, Tina Reno, Brian Rheaume, Cindy Sheridan Murphy, Amy Stanek, and Jonathan Yee.

In a time-honored tradition, each of these talented volunteer dancers will partner with professionals from Ballroom Fever and showcase their talents before a sellout crowd of nearly 600 attendees.

“I may be new in my role, but I’m well aware of Fancy Steps’ legacy and honored to be part of it,” said D.J. Tucker, executive director of the museum. “I am especially grateful to our longtime partner, PeoplesBank, who has supported us since the event’s inception and returns as our crown jewel presenting sponsor, along with new partner, the Richard and Barbara Whitcomb Foundation.”
