Dancing with the Luther Stars is an annual event in which Pros (senior student competitive dancers) and Stars (Luther Faculty and Staff) pair up and compete for the mirror ball trophy by dancing various Ballroom and Swing dances, such as Rumba, Tango, Waltz, and Cha Cha, among others. This is the largest fundraising event the team hosts in which part of the proceeds are donated to a charity of the team’s choosing. Past winners have included Bradley Phillips & Kjerstin Nelson (2018) and Jodi Enos-Berlage & Gabriel Palacios (2022). This event will also feature showcases put on by other team members, such as small group dances or solo dances in between the competitive dances. Information for the 2023 event will be released soon.
