Be sure to get your tickets TODAY for the 2026 Lancaster County Dancing with the Stars! Dancing with the Stars is part of the Project-Based Learning Curriculum in our Dance Department.  Project-Based Learning is a teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects.  Dance students work directly with community volunteers to plan the choreography for dances and teach it to these adult dancers in the community.  From the starting concept to the finished show, students are designing and teaching to create the performance.  Fine Arts Chair, Dr. Tom Moncrief, said, “In today’s cultural and business world, the need for seeing a project through to completion is such an important skill.  These students are essential to the beginning and end of the production of their dances and take ownership of them.  We are extremely grateful to our celebrity dancers and our Dance Teacher, Kim Benton, for guiding them through this project-based unit.”
