Contestant Spotlight: Dan Firks — From Navy Service to Salsa Stage

Cheer on Dan Firks at Naperville’s Dancing With the Stars Gala

Get ready to cheer on Dan Firks at Naperville’s Dancing With the Stars Fundraiser Gala. On September 12, 2025, Dan will swap his tailored suit for dance shoes and perform a fast-paced salsa routine at NP Dance Studio—all to raise funds for Nacientes Horizons.

Why Dan is Dancing

“I just feel free when I’m on the dance floor,” Dan shared. Dancing has always been a source of joy for him, and this year he’s ready to take on the salsa challenge while giving back to the community he loves.

From Navy Service to Naperville

Before becoming one of Naperville’s most recognized Realtors®, Dan proudly served in the United States Navy as a cook. That dedication to service continues today through his real estate work, Naperville.com, and his commitment to strengthening local community bonds.

The Salsa Challenge

Competing with a salsa routine means precision, energy, and rhythm. For Dan, it’s a chance to step outside his comfort zone, take on a challenge, and inspire others to do the same.

Why This Event Matters

The Dancing With the Stars Naperville Gala supports Nacientes Horizons, helping children and families with education and wellness programs. For Dan, this event is about more than dancing—it’s about serving Naperville and beyond.
