Each team has to have at least 2 or more members on the floor at all times. A variety of music is played for all the dancers, including house music, so get your team ready! A portion of the event is televised so this gives each team an opportunity to represent their organization, class, cause or City. There will be plenty of food & fun for ALL the participants!
