Now in its seventh year, Dancing with the Bars is a chance for Valley bartenders, bar owners, and bold personalities in the LGBT community to strut their stuff on stage in a competition for the best moves (in the vein of Dancing With the Stars). Each featured dancer represents a different local bar and trains ahead of time with professional dance instructors before debuting their grand performance in front of a live audience.
Leading up to the finale performance of Dancing with the Bars 2014 on Sunday, July 27, at Celebrity Theatre, Sway Events is hosting ShowTime at The Bar, a weekly series of performances The Bar on Central to showcase the DWTB 2014 cast.
