They two-stepped by the hundreds on Saturday, Aug. 10, in San Juan Capistrano.
The 17th annual Two Stepping Under the Stars hosted by the San Juan Capistrano Equestrian Coalition and Blenheim Facility Management raised a ruckus of fun while also helping benefit the equestrian community.
The event was held at the Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park at SJC, and featured gourmet food trucks, games and activities for children and lots of dancing. Before the event kicked off, the Kelly Boyz offered free dance lessons to make sure everyone had a good time.
A silent auction and raffle helped with the fundraising.
