Fred Astaire Dance Studios to Make USA’s Most Interesting Polo Event Even More So
(Scottsdale, Ariz.) –​The world's most interesting polo event just got even more intriguing. For the first time ever, ballroom dancing is taking the field at The 5th Annual Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Horses & Horsepower on Oct. 24 at WestWorld of Scottsdale!
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., professional dancers from Fred Astaire Dance Studios will waltz, tango, foxtrot and swing on a real wood dance floor installed exclusively for this year’s Polo Party. In addition, dancers will interact with the Polo crowd and give how-to demonstrations and short lessons to attendees.
“We are thrilled to be performing at such an amazing event,†said Antoinette Benevento, co-owner of Fred Astaire Dance Studios International and studio director of the Scottsdale location. “This may be the first time ballroom dancing has ever been performed field-side at a polo match.â€
The floor will be a general admission spectating area along the sideline, offering great views of both the matches and choreography. This will truly be a one-of-a-kind element at the most dynamic polo event in the country!
Field-side Ballroom Dancing is not the only exhibit at the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Horses & Horsepower. The event will also feature a live Larsen Art Auction, Fashion Show by Phoenix Fashion Week, Canine Couture runway, a Phoenix Symphony Quartet and preview of the 2016 Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction.
