Rehearse in-person weekly with your pro. As a goal, we suggest getting a handle on your dance style and basic choreography before the holidays. Your routine should be seared into muscle memory weeks before the competition…this will enable you to really enjoy and perform your dance and not have to focus on the steps!
Dancing is harder than you think Drs! Many of the couples have already started rehearsing, we suggest you start rehearsing with your pro asap and practice on your own…even a few min here and there during the day is SO helpful!

Become a sponsor of one of Cape Cod’s most talked-about events! Dancing with the Docs brings together 400+ guests for an unforgettable night of glamour, energy, and community—all while raising critical funds to support people facing cancer. Your sponsorship not only builds visibility for your business but directly fuels CWC’s mission to help patients across Cape Cod and the Islands feel better. It’s a meaningful way to elevate your business while championing a night of joy, connection, and community impact.
Learn more on each sponsorship package on our event page here
2026 Dancing with the Docs Champion (votes from judges and attendees)
The winner of the dance competition. This is determined by both the judges' scores and the audience votes. After all dancers have performed attendees will be able to vote (by text) for their favorite team. Trophy designed and built by Steve Swain and Steve Shook.
CWC Community Hero Award (votes from donors)
This award is presented to the physician who raises the most funds for Cape Wellness Collaborative. The doctor who wins this award will receive the coveted CWC Hero belt designed and built by Diana Anderson to then pass on to the next doctor the following year.
We encourage performers to mingle with the VIPs at cocktail reception, before doors are open to the regular seats - but please DO NOT REVEAL YOUR COSTUME BEFORE YOUR PERFORMANCE!
Drs will be given personalized DWTD Team 2026 white coats to wear when introduced/lined up on stage at the beginning of the event…this is great because it saves the costume reveal for the performance and visually tells the audience which is the Dr and which is the pro ;)
