DANCING WITH THE JOHNSON COUNTY STARS, 7-9 p.m. Sept. 8 and 9, Historic Artcraft Theatre

Eight area dancers have been working for months to perfect their tangos, salsa and swing. Now, it’s time to show off all of the fancy footwork — while raising money for good causes as well. Participants have been paired with dance professionals to put on a rousing performance, and will put on a two-night extravaganza. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 12 and under to Friday’s show, while Saturday’s showcase is $30 for adults and $10 for children, and includes either an alcoholic beverage or a small popcorn/small soda combo.
