About the Dance-a-Thon

Get ready, St. Paul—this is more than just a dance party. It’s a movement.

The Dance-a-Thon is YWCA St. Paul’s signature fundraising celebration—an unforgettable night of music, dancing, and community coming together for a powerful cause. On Saturday, November 1, 2025, the YWCA’s historic corner at 375 Selby Avenue will transform into the Twin Cities’ hottest dance floor as we raise funds to fuel racial justice, equity, and opportunity.

This first-of-its-kind event invites everyone to join in the joy of movement while making a lasting impact. Whether you come to dance, donate, or cheer from the sidelines, every step you take helps build a stronger, healthier, and more equitable community.

  • Safe and stable housing for families overcoming homelessness and housing insecurity.
  • Career readiness and job training for 400+ people each year, opening doors to thriving-wage employment.
  • Leadership development for young women of color transitioning out of foster care.
  • Health & Fitness Center scholarships for 500+ community members annually.
