The spouse of someone currently deployed with any branch of the United States Armed Forces.
Heroes will be matched with an instructor at their local dance studio. Each participating studio will provide 20 Ballroom Dance Lessons at no charge to the Hero, in order to teach him or her the dancing needed for the competition. All costuming for the hero will be provided at no charge to the Hero. The Hero will also receive complimentary tickets to the Gala for themselves, their instructor and a guest. No prior dance experience is required, and no partner is required because their instructor will partner them in the competition. Our instructors are thrilled at the prospect of giving something back to the men and women who give so much of themselves for us. Are you eligible to be one of our Heroes? Contact us at (781) 320-5678 or dance@fadsdedham.com. We’d love to hear more about you!
