An audience of 500 people attended Dancing for Dreams in support of the Lancaster General College of Nursing & Health Sciences. This exciting dance showcase took place on Saturday, June 21, 2008, at the Lancaster Host Resort. 

Dancing for Dreams partnered local celebrities with professional ballroom dance instructors who volunteered to teach the celebrities how to dance. On the night of the event, the celebrities and the professionals wowed attendees with their ballroom dance performances. Award-winning professional dancers, Anya Garnis and Pasha Kovalev of So You Think You Can Dance, also demonstrated their skills, which got everyone in the mood for social dancing after the show.
