Dancing with the Stars professional Fabian Sanchez to teach at annual fund-raising event

The eighth-annual “Takes Two to Tango” event will benefit Children’s Dance Foundation (CDF) on Saturday, February 11th, 7-9:30pm.

Guests at the event will enjoy a Tango dance lesson taught by Fabian Sanchez, a professional dancer from ABC’s hit show Dancing with the Stars.  Guests will enjoy decadent deserts by Downtown Homewood restaurants Crape Myrtle Cafe, Homewood Gourmet and Nabeel’s as well as fun and flirty giveaways.  The event will take place in the intimate Studio Theatre at CDF and is limited to 30 couples.

CDF dances with students of all ages and abilities in our community arts center in Homewood and at more than 20 social service agencies, child care centers and schools throughout Birmingham.   Our dance classes and performances inspire the child who is homeless, very young, disadvantaged or at-risk, and the child who has special needs.  CDF provides these children with much needed opportunities to feed their imagination and strengthen their bodies and minds.  CDF is a non-profit organization supported by generous corporations, foundations and individuals.
