Dancing with the Stars: Berklee Edition returns on January 24, 2024. The fourth annual competition features well-known personalities from Boston Conservatory at Berklee and Berklee College of Music, competing on the dance floor while raising much-needed funds for Dance Division scholarships.

All proceeds from the event will go toward endowing the Tokunaga Scholarship Fund, which provides support to a Dance Division student who demonstrates significant academic growth, artistic discipline, and emerging talent. The scholarship is named in honor of Yasuko Tokunaga, who served as director of the Dance Division and artistic director of Boston Conservatory Dance Theater (BCDT) from 1989 to 2011.
