Northwest Dance Championships is a two-day competition event hosted by Fred Astaire Dance Studios of Oregon Area Directors, Alex & Jessi Aillon. We are proud to set the standard as the Premier Ballroom event of the Pacific Northwest—luxurious accommodations, esteemed panel of Officials, and a ballroom roaring with camaraderie!
Our event is built on the pillars of fun, personal growth (an inevitability for the dancers who challenge themselves to compete), and doing it all in the spirit of generosity.
At our inaugural event, NWDC raised more than $30,000 to benefit children with special needs via Tony Dovolani’s Foundation. In 2022 and again this year, we have proudly chosen to honor our Country’s Military Heroes to benefit the local Fisher House Foundation.
We invite all competitors and Portland Metro Area spectators to join us on Saturday, October 7th as brave Veterans dance with our FADS Oregon Professionals to represent their branch of service in a Dancing-With-The-Stars-style competition: Dancing With Our Heroes! Purchase your tickets here.
