One-n-Ten will host its 9th Annual Dancing for one•n•ten on Saturday, Sept. 12, at Tempe Center for the Arts, bringing together LGBTQ+ community members, leaders, allies and supporters for an unforgettable celebration of dance, connection and fundraising in support of Arizona’s LGBTQ+ youth and young adults.

Modeled after a ballroom dance competition showcase, this year’s "Dancing for One-n-Ten" pairs nine local community leaders with professional dance instructors to create high-energy routines performed live on the Tempe Center for the Arts stage.

Performances start at noon with doors open to the public at 9:30 a.m.

This year’s theme, Unapologetically Me  honors the kind of joy that refuses to disappear. The event invites contestants and community alike to take up space boldly through performances rooted in identity, freedom, and the electric feeling of being embraced fully.

The day will be emceed by Barbra Seville, a Drag Queen who has been delighting audiences for 25 years and Nick Ciletti, an 11-time Emmy award-winning journalist from ABC 15.

The annual event continues One-n-Ten tradition of celebrating diversity while raising critical funds for programs that promote self-expression, self-acceptance, leadership development and healthy life choices.

Proceeds from the event will support One-n-Ten statewide programs, including identity-specific programs, life skills and workforce development, health and wellness resources, housing assistance, digital programs and Camp OUTdoors.

In 2025, the event exceeded its fundraising goal, raising more than $174,000 to support One-n-Ten programs. The 2026 event will continue building on that momentum featuring a new cast of contestants and dance pros, community-driven fundraising and a shared commitment to uplifting LGBTQ+ youth across the state.
