Meet Our Emcee: Edyta Śliwińska Is Bringing the Spark to MetGala SCV

There are emcees, and then there are show-starters.

This year, MetGala SCV is honored to welcome Edyta Śliwińska as our emcee. She is a ballroom icon, a television favorite, and one of the original professional dancers who helped turn Dancing with the Stars into the cultural phenomenon it became.
​
For a night like MetGala SCV, where glamour meets purpose, she is exactly the presence you want at the center of it all.

The Original Era of DWTS Has a Name
When Dancing with the Stars launched in 2005, no one really knew what it would become. But the show’s magic was not just the celebrities. It was the professionals who made America fall in love with ballroom in the first place.

Edyta was one of those originals, and she did something no other female pro accomplished. She appeared in every one of the first ten seasons. That kind of longevity does not happen by accident. It happens when you are consistently excellent, consistently magnetic, and consistently trusted.​

She became part of the show’s identity, the kind of pro viewers recognized instantly, season after season, before the music even started.

A Performer With Presence, and a Personality You Feel
What makes Edyta memorable is not just technique. It is the way she shows up.

Polished but real. Glamorous but approachable. She has that rare on-camera confidence that translates perfectly to a live audience, the kind of energy that says, we are about to have a night.

She is also known for staying calm under pressure, the kind of professional who can pivot quickly, keep things running smoothly, and still make everything feel effortless. That is a superpower at a live event, and honestly, in life.

More Than a Dancer: A Builder, a Businesswoman, a Force
Edyta’s story is also one of drive.

She came to the U.S. with strong competitive credentials and built a career spanning television, live performance, coaching, and entrepreneurship. She did not just ride the wave of fame. She built something lasting from it.

That matters to us, because MetGala SCV is about building too. Awareness, community, and real momentum for metastatic breast cancer research.

What It Means for Our Night
Edyta will be the one setting the pace for the evening. She will bring the room together, amplify the energy, and help each moment land as intended.

Because MetGala SCV is not just an event. It is a celebration, a purpose, a big-hearted community, and a night we want people talking about long after it ends.

With Edyta as our emcee, the evening will flow smoothly. It will shine.

Get Ready, SCV
We cannot wait to welcome Edyta to the MetGala SCV stage and experience this night with her at the center of it.

Get your tickets. Bring your people. Show up in your finest.
