Entitled Dancing on Air: A Dance Tribute to Television, the 7 PM evening will pay tribute to memorable dance moments created for the small screen — from the days of black-and-white programs to the advent of color. Those already lined up to take part in the evening include Tony Award winners Brian Stokes Mitchell, Phylicia Rashad and Chita Rivera, Chicago star Wayne Brady and Toni Basil, Marge Champion, Mercedes Ellington, Arthur Mitchell, Orfeh, Donald Saddler and Edward Villella. The one-night-only event will also boast dancers from the American Ballet Theatre, the Dance Theatre of Harlem, The Joffrey Ballet, Miami City Ballet and Peter Pucci Plus Dancers. (The roster of participants is subject to change.)

Produced by Ann Marie DeAngelo, the evening will honor Debbie Allen and Patricia Kennedy. Tony Stevens will direct Dancing on Air with musical direction by Robert Mikulski.
