Chacha or waltz? Upbeat and sassy or smooth and elegant?

It’s the 10th Annual and final Dancing with the Knoxville Stars fundraising event for East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and I am pleased to be part of the cast of dancers!

Dance Tonight Knoxville paired me with dance pro Kris Hazard who is not only a fantastic choreographer, actor, and professional dancer, he is a great dance instructor. 

It was an exciting night where Kris and I danced a chacha to “Feel It Still” by Portugal. The Man. We finished second overall with 28 out of 30 points and third in fundraising with over $10,000 raised for ETCH.

Thank you to the businesses who donated to ETCH on my behalf:  Solinity, Clayton Homes, DeRoyal Industries, Engert Plumbing & Heating, Inc., Phillips & Jordan, plus many other friends, family and supporters!
