Contestant Spotlight: Dr. Arun Pal (Dr. Paul) — Smiles, Service, and Salsa
Dr. Arun Pal Joins Naperville’s Dancing With the Stars Gala
This September, Naperville’s Dancing With the Stars Fundraiser Gala welcomes Dr. Arun Pal, better known to his friends at NP Dance Studio as “Dr. Paul.” With the support of his family and community, he’ll step onto the dance floor to raise funds that transform lives far beyond Naperville.
From Dentistry to Dance
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
The Impact in Colombia
What began three years ago with Caesar’s toy and grocery initiative has grown into a powerful health mission:
First year: ~200 children received dental screenings.
Last year: ~400 children received screenings.
About 20% of those children required urgent dental treatment, and available funds ensured they could receive care at local clinics.
Today, Dr. Paul and his team continue to provide toys, groceries, and essential medical screenings, with a renewed goal of sending more children into proper clinics for lasting dental health.

Why He’s Dancing
By joining the Naperville DWTS Gala, Dr. Paul is bringing awareness and resources to a cause close to his heart. His goal is clear: more smiles, better health, and brighter futures for children who need it most.
