For the third year in a row 10 courageous couples will get their dancing shoes on and learn how to ballroom dance for the Rotorua Community Hospice fundraiser.
The popular extravaganza Harcourts Dancing with the Stars has been confirmed to take place again in 2018.
Rotorua Hospice acting funding anddevelopment manager Lisa Pauling encourages people to make sure they set aside July 28 on their calendar.
The event will again be held at the Energy Events Centre.
Pauling said they were starting the process of selecting people to take part now. Once again, public auditions will be held to make up the 10th couple.

She said at this stage next year's event would stick to the same formula as the previous two, though this time the judging of the top couples will be different and there will not be a clap-o-meter.
"It is a winning formula and great for raising money and awareness for hospice."
Pauling said great local businesses have been involved previously and the awareness of hospice and its services was amazing.
