We're counting down the days until local celebrities — including our very own Monika — will Dance for Kids Sake as a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Paso.

You'll have a chance to see Shelley Mozelle, Marina Monsisvais and so many others compete in front of a panel of judges, including Linda Wolfe, executive director of The Great Khalid Foundation, and Elia Esparza from "The Voice."

The contestants receive lessons from Shundo Ballroom Dance Studio, New Horizons Dance Academy and Desert Eagle Productions Dance Studio and have been practicing for weeks, so they are sure to delight the crowd. (Scroll to the bottom of this article for a full list of dancers.) The fun starts at 6 p.m. Nov. 9 with a silent auction and the performance starts at 7 p.m., all at The Plaza Theater, 123 Pioneer Plaza, El Paso.

The event proceeds support Big Brothers Big Sisters as they match more than 100 El Paso children on their waiting list with adult mentors — and then support those important relationships as they grow. "Mentors help these children stay in school, off drugs, and away from gangs, not to mention boost their self-esteem and help them deal with bullying and depression," according to Big Brothers Big Sisters.

How often do you have the chance to improve kids' lives by having a fun night out? For event information, text "DanceBig" to 555888.
