We are back in 2023 with a whole new squad of local personalities who are ready to put their talent to the test to dance for cancer!

Get ready for a fun night of DANCING and specular entertainment with our upcoming STARS of Northern Rivers spectacular, on October 14th at the Byron Community Theatre. 

We are excited to bring STARS (Dancing for Cancer) back to the Northern Rivers region in 2023 with a whole new squad of local legends who are super ready to dust off their day clothes, don their sequins and put their up-til-now hidden talent to the test to dance for cancer! As well as gearing up for their first ever on-stage dance performance, our Stars are also busy fundraising for cancer – did we mention these people are living legends!? 

We also have a stellar line up of amazing talent on display, from our wonderful Dance Teachers who have given up their time voluntarily to support and guide our Stars in their eight-week dance journey.  All our teachers are dance heros themselves and keen to make our Stars shine. We are in awe of their talent, generosity and spirit, and welcome them to our Stars of Northern Rivers event.  

As well as our talented Stars and Dance Teachers, we are very fortunate to supported by super-star Amy Colli (Sourdough Business Pathways) as our shining MC for the night.  Our esteemed judges will include the much-loved Australian singer & entertainer Normie Rowe, Creative Director of Dance Integrated Australia Philip Channells, and local tango dance teacher Jan Rae from Byron Tango.

STARS Northern Rivers will bring the Northern Rivers together and raise much needed funds for Cancer Council NSW. With one in two Australians affected by cancer by the age of 85, the money raised from this event will go towards Cancer Council NSW and their world-class cancer research, prevention programs, advocacy, and support services to help those affected by cancer at every point in their journey.
