Dancing with our Stars
Dancing with Our Stars is an exciting annual fundraising event, where local personalities and community leaders partner with professional dancers to compete on the dance floor.
Each participant raises funds to support vital community programs, bringing people together for a glamorous evening of entertainment and charity.
With enthusiastic local support, Dancing with Our Stars highlights the Ballarat community’s generosity while directly impacting those in need.
The 2024 event was a record-breaking success with over $212,000 raised and an array of dazzling performances from our Stars. Thank you to our Stars, dance partners, dance teacher Shelley Ross from The Dance Studio Ballarat, our hosts, judges, guests and generous sponsors for making this year the best yet.

We pay our respects to the Elders, both past and present, and commit to working together in the spirit of mutual understanding, respect and reconciliation.
The Ballarat Foundation is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive community where everyone is welcomed, respected and empowered to thrive.
