Since our humble beginnings well over a decade ago, Boogie with the Stars (now held every two years), has become a well-known NYE event in Prince George. 2022’s Season 8 with its “Roaring 20’s” theme was without doubt a “roaring” success! It truly was a grand evening that combined great food, with a Dance Competition unique in our City, very good dance music and our unrivaled, spacious dance floor encouraging dancing on a level unmatched anywhere else in town, certainly a must for dance lovers to enjoy a carefully selected variety of high quality dance music. For Season 9 we intend to continue with the colour, the energy, the dedication and the effort experienced in Season 8 that reflected a high degree of accomplishment, filling us all with pride and appreciation.

Now it’s time to focus on Season 9. Once again, PGHPCS, the host Charity, with Donna at the helm will be bringing you the 2024 BWTS event, and this time with a new and energising theme. The coordinator at Hospice, Alicia is already well under way with getting things organized for the big event at the Civic Centre on NYE, Tuesday December 31st. The folks at Hospice are outstanding people and it is a privilege to offer support to their hard work and the wonderful things they do for those in need. They are working closely with other local charities in an effort to support a number or very worthy local causes in our area.

So, this NYE it will be “Disco” time! Who didn’t love the music and moves of John Travolta? “Saturday Night Fever” was on the tip of everybody’s tongue, and then there was the magic pairing with him and Olivia Newton John in “Grease”? It was the era of “Disco Fever” and everyone wanted to do the Hustle and the Bump. For those who experience it, the sounds and high energy are easy to recall, and bring back fond memories. BWTS 2024 will reflect that time and hopefully everyone will welcome the opportunity to dress for the occasion, and to re-live the colour and feeling of dance from the 70’s & 80’s. It will be a time to catch a little of that “Disco Fever” as well as enjoying music representative of today’s more popular songs and dance numbers.

To add to the Disco theme, the format for the competition has expanded so as to add more challenge for the Teams and excitement for the audience. You can expect to see a larger number of performers making up the routines for each team, resulting in a more energised, expanded and engaging presentation. The only thing that stands between you and what promises to be a very worthwhile evening of food, fun and fulfillment is ensuring that you get your tickets before they sell out.
