Business
and professional people from throughout the community took on a new
challenge recently as they offered themselves to The Woman’s Discovery
Center as participants in the annual fundraiser Wanna Dance?, the local
version of the wildly popular TV program “Dancing with the Stars.” The
32 participants agreed to be paired with a partner and a coach to learn
a ballroom dance and perform it in a public venue, all the while
soliciting votes at $1 each to raise funds for the center. The
ultimate champions of the event were those who collected the most $1
votes.
