On Wednesday, April 24, the second annual Dancing with the Stars event was held in the high school auditorium, along with a spaghetti dinner prior to the show. The Bellwood-Antis Foundation-sponsored competition was a success, with fifteen competing duos, six group numbers, and two dancers going home with a mirror ball trophy.
The show opened with a group routine from students of Centre Dance, followed by an introduction of the night’s three judges: Molly Burns, Jocelyn Hrzic, and Kristen Kauffman.
Dancing with the Stars drew in competitors from schools across Central PA, including Tyrone, Hollidaysburg, State College, Bishop Guilfoyle, Altoona, Grier, and Bellwood-Antis.
At the end of the evening filled with dancing and basket raffles, a combination of total judges’ scores and audience vote totals revealed the winner of the night.
The first place title and a shiny trophy to take home was awarded Holly Winfield and Izzy Nguyen of Centre Dance. The pair also walked away with $100 to split.
Donations and admission to the event benefit the B-A Foundation, which supplies grant money to countless BASD teacher-led projects throughout the school year.
Congratulations to Holly and Izzy, and all dancers who participated!
