EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 El Paso\u2019s getting ready to dance for a cause, and this year, celebrity guest Mario Lopez is back, joined by his wife Courtney.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll co-host the 2025 Dance for Kids\u2019 Sake this Saturday, raising money and awareness for Big Brothers Big Sisters.<\/p>\n
Local dancers and judges are stepping up, training with free lessons from studios across the city. It all leads to one big night of music, movement, and community spirit.<\/p>\n
KFOX14 spoke to Lopez about returning to El Paso for the organization’s biggest fundraiser.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all, love El Paso. It’s a great town with really nice people. We had a great time last time, and I’d like to see the community rally around a fun event and get everyone dancing and moving, and the kids seem to have a really good time, and I\u2019m looking forward to having my wife come,\u201d Lopez said.<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cI’m excited to be there and support, and you know I love a good cause to bring people together and to celebrate, and what can audiences expect this year’s Dance for Kids sake? Well, Mrs. Lopez and I are going to be hosting the event and seeing some of El Paso’s finest, a lot of times, or most of the time, I should say, most of these people haven’t danced before, but they take lessons to put on these performances to raise money for the charity. So, it should be a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Participants prep with free dance lessons courtesy of our incredible partners Shundo Ballroom Dance Studio, Urban Movement Dance Academy, Premier Studios, and Expressions Dance Academy.<\/p>\n
