The event, organised by the St Joseph's Primary School P&F, is a fundraiser for the school, and includes many familiar faces.
Those taking part have been rehearsing for weeks for their big moment under the mirror ball as they put themselves and their out there for the public to see.
Nine couples have agreed to show off their dancing flair on November 2 from 6.30pm at the Mia Club.
They are:
- Craig Purtill and Bree McGregor
- Todd Smith and Clare Vant
- Marty Asmus and Libby Gillespie
- Brendan Steele and Jane O'Garey
- Matt Pete and Andria Coelli
- Brooke Ierano and Paul Symes
- Ben Paton and Deanne Vitelli
- Angelo Fiumara and Steph Cirillo
- Chris Dawe and Samantha Gregurke
Each couple will take to the dance floor for a routine of their own on the night before they all come together for a group routine that is certain to wow the audience.
With many hours of blood, sweat and tears going into the performances, the dancers have been under the expert tutelage of choreographers Paige Purtill, Kate Cooper, Jess McDonnell and Linda Boardman.
St Joseph's P&F president Julianne Dowling paid tribute to those who have been brave enough to take part.

"They have given their time so generously," she said.
"The teachers are very creative and really know how to help the dancers shine.
"There are quite a few characters in the group, so they have had their work cut out for them.
"It has been a real team effort, with planning taking place over several months. We can't wait to see each couple dance and we invite everyone to come along."
While the event is almost sold out, additional standing tables have been added.
These tables will also include finger food and tickets can be purchased from Antoinette's Jewellers.
