How to Vote

Dancing for the Arts is more than just glitz and glamour. It's a fun way to support the arts in our community. Your votes ($1 = 1 vote) help ensure that every twirl, lift, and step raises awareness and critical funds for Piedmont Arts and the exhibits, events, and educational programs it brings to Martinsville-Henry County. Each team's final score is made up of a combination of your votes and the judges’ scores. The team with the highest final score wins the grand prize.

To double your votes ($1 = 2 votes) and make those dollars really count, you can apply your total donation toward a Piedmont Arts membership. A $40 minimum is required for this option.
