The Beloit Janesville Symphony Orchestra (BJSO) is bringing a sensational event back to the community. Come watch community “stars” dance the day away on April 2, 2017 at BJSO’s first Dancing with the Stars fundraiser.

Have a lot of fun and raise money for Rock County’s symphony orchestra by voting for your favorite “stars.” Each vote is only $1 and you may vote as much as you want for as many dancers as you want! It’s all part of the fun!
