Table Centerpiece

A sold out crowd of dance enthusiasts enjoyed a gourmet meal, and an evening of entertainment, at last night's inaugural edition of "Dancing Stars of Central Georgia," at the Macon City Auditorium.

Capacity Crowd

Ten "professional" dancers were paired with celebrities to compete in the "Dancing With The Stars" type competition. Local "Stars" included former First Lady of Georgia, Mary Perdue, as well as Karla Redding-Andrews, daughter of the late singer, Otis Redding, famous for his hit song,"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay."

Four of my long-time ballroom dance friends, from Central Georgia, served as pros and helped raise almost $206,000 for the Alzheimer's Association! Dozens of friends from area USA Dance Chapters, and local dance studios, turned out to cheer on our friends! 

Links to my 4 "Pro" friends' YouTube Videos from the competition on my Pinterest Board are below! Hope you'll follow me on Pinterest, follow me on Facebook, and follow my blog!
