Stars for a Night — corporate dance competition format by Ballroom Theatre

Corporate Entertainment · Unique Format

Stars for a Night

Your company's own Dancing with the Stars experience.

A Format Like No Other

Your Colleagues Become
the Performers

Imagine your company anniversary, Christmas party, or gala dinner with a twist — your own employees take the stage as the stars of the evening. Ballroom Theatre professionals design a unique choreography for each participant, coach them through rehearsals, and produce the full competition night. Judges score. Colleagues cheer. Everyone leaves with a story.

This is not a format we invented on paper. Ballroom Theatre founders Valeria Milova and Vitali Kozmin are professional Dancing with the Stars veterans — Valeria was the first ever champion of DWTS Ireland — 3 seasons in Ireland, 2 in Turkey (5 total), while Vitali won DWTS Turkey and was a finalist in Ireland. They know exactly what makes this format electric — and how to bring that same experience to your event.

How It Works

Three steps from idea to standing ovation

01

Concept & Casting

We meet with your team, discuss the format, and assign each participant a professional dancer-choreographer. We create a unique concept and music selection for every pair.

02

Rehearsals

2–3 weeks of rehearsals — at your convenience. Each participant learns their routine with a Ballroom Theatre professional. No dance experience required.

03

The Show

On the night, participants perform in front of their colleagues. A panel of judges scores each performance — just like the real show. The evening ends with a winner, applause, and an unforgettable memory.

Participation Formats

Choose How Your Team Takes the Stage

1

Pro & Employee Pairs

Classic format

Each employee is paired with one of our professional dancers. Our choreographer designs the routine, teaches it, and performs alongside them on the night. Minimum 4 pairs.

2

Employee Duos

Independent format

Two company employees per pair — our professionals design the choreography and coach both partners through rehearsals. The performance is theirs. Great for larger groups of 10+.

3

Mixed Night

Combined format

Some pairs are pro + employee, others are employee duos. Flexible, scalable, and works well for large companies where not everyone wants a professional partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many participants can take part?

From 4 to 20+ participants. We can source additional professional dancers beyond our core team of six, so the format scales to the size of your company. Contact us to discuss numbers.

How long does preparation take?

Typically 2–3 weeks of rehearsals, with sessions scheduled around participants' working hours. We are flexible and can adjust the timeline to fit your event date.

Do participants need any dance experience?

None at all. Our choreographers are experienced teachers who build routines to match each participant's level. The goal is a fun, impressive performance — not a competition for trained dancers.

Who are the judges?

Judges can be company executives, invited guests, or even audience vote — we help you design the judging format to suit your event. We can also provide a professional host/MC if needed.

What is included in the service?

Concept development, individual choreography for each pair, all rehearsal sessions, costumes guidance, and the full performance production on the night — music, staging, and score presentation.

Can this be combined with the main Ballroom Theatre show?

Yes — and it works beautifully. The evening can open with the full professional Ballroom Theatre show, then transition into the Stars for a Night competition. Contact us to design the full programme.
