Dancing Under the Rainbow 2025

AC Pride, in partnership with Arlin’s Dance Spot and Prudential Presents the North 2 Shore Festival, proudly brings back Dancing Under the Rainbow on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 7 PM in the Hollywood Ballroom at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

This unforgettable evening pairs local community stars with professional dancers as they compete for the coveted Rainbow Crown and Judges’ Choice Award.

Last year, this event raised more than $40,000—funds that empowered AC Pride to provide programs, advocacy, and education for the LGBTQIA+ community across Atlantic City and beyond. Proceeds also supported the AC Pride Khoi Bui Scholarship Fund, awarding three scholarships to local LGBTQIA+ students pursuing their dreams.

This year promises to be even bigger—with electrifying performances, spirited competition, and more than 200 guests coming together to celebrate unity, pride, and inclusion.

Most importantly, the dollars raised through Dancing Under the Rainbow make it possible for AC Pride to sustain all of this work—from scholarships, mixers, and community events, to advocacy, outreach, and operating expenses that keep our mission alive. Every contribution ensures AC Pride continues to be a vital resource and voice for our community.
