Nowa edycja "Dancing With The Stars. Taniec z Gwiazdami" już wiosną 2016
The fourth season of Dancing With the Stars for Cowley County Kids was held Feb. 28 in the Winfield High School auditorium. The annual event, sponsored by Winfield Middle School Builders Club, is a fundraiser for CASA of Cowley County.
According to DWTS sponsor Jalaine Richardson, this year"s event was almost completely organized and implemented by USD 465 students. High school student volunteers were in the dance competition, provided light and soun, or helped in other ways.
Trained dancers from local dance studios partnered with untrained dancers to compete during one dance. Featured dancing partners were Shelley Morin and Cameron Dennett; Chelo Curtis and Xavier Morris-Lolar; Isaiah Mahon and Mackenzie Minner; Kara Eastman and Rigan Stoll; Sara Minton and Adam Rush; Skylar Markley and Steele Sarnacki; Olivia McClung and Jacob Byerley; Keaton Biddle and Scott Vilayphone; Harper Bartell and Drake Hill; and Kaylie Aikins and Brett Roark. Dancers from The Edge Dance Company and WHS foreign exchange student Chia Mejia also entertained.
Emcees were Mandy Maples and coach Leland George.
"The emcees were hilarious," said Richardson.
Three judges, Jay Tate, David Hammer and Lynn Gerber, gave the dancers feedback and rated the couples on a scale from one to ten. Audience members participated in the voting, as they made their choices through text on their phones. First, second and third places were awarded along with People"s Choice (most audience votes). Refreshments were served as the results were calculated.
Mary Olson Beach also provided a video presentation of kids who had found permanent homes from foster care, thanks to CASA.
This year"s event raised $1,700 with all proceeds going to CASA of Cowley County to assist foster children through the court system.
"This was up over $500 from last year"s show," Richardson said. "The People"s Choice was done differently this year, which generated a lot of money.We had intermission after all dancers performed, and people voted with cash in jars for People"s Choice. It was amazing!"
