GLOW FOR KIDS' SAKE charityWERQ
"Get your glow gear ready, it's time WERQ Hard, Play Hard at Evansville's 8th annual Glow for Kids' Sake charityWERQ benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters of SW Indiana!
This year, we’re leveling up the energy with Glow for Kids' Sake 2026: Battle Royale!
WERQ (pronounced “work”) is the wildly addictive cardio dance fitness workout based on the hottest pop and hip hop music taught by certified fitness professionals.
WERQ Hard. WERQ Together. Do Good. WERQ believes in working hard and giving back to the community and is excited to partner up with Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) to raise funds for this awesome organization! BBBS changes lives by helping children realize their potential and build their futures. Through BBBS charityWERQs, WERQaholics strengthen communities and bring people together to dance and raise money for a special cause.
WERQ also believes in playing hard- and this year’s interactive showdown is going to be epic!
The Battle Royale Experience
Across 4 Quarters, 5 signature move categories will go head-to-head on the dance floor:
-
🍑 THE SHAKERS (Booty Pops & Hip Shakes)
-
🌊 THE ROLLERS (Body Rolls, Waves, and Whines)
-
👏 THE CLAPPERS (Upper-Body Arm Pumps & Claps)
-
🦵 THE BURNERS (Squats & Leg Power)
-
✨ THE SHIMMIES (Shoulder Shimmies, Chest Vibrations & Fast Isolations)
After each quarter, YOU vote on your favorite move category! Cast your floor vote at the end of each block to help crown the overall Champion Move by the final buzzer.
Expect blacklight glow lighting and decor, a heart-pounding playlist, 50/50 raffle, snacks, and your fellow WERQaholics. Don't let the fun atmosphere fool you-this is a WORKOUT (or as we like to call it- a WERQout)! Non-dancers and dancers alike will sweat to easy-to-follow, high-energy routines led by local and visiting WERQ Instructors. No previous WERQ or dance experience is needed!
