Clarksville, TN – The orchestra is tuning up, the dance shoes are nervously tapping backstage and the excitement is building for Saturday night’s Fourth Annual Dancing with the Stars presented by Altrusa International of Clarksville.
This annual fundraiser brings together local celebrities and dancing professionals for an evening of stellar entertainment.
This year’s celebrities include: Cassandra Osborne from CEMC, Jameson Griffis with Merrill Lynch, Felicia Long from Keller Williams Realty, Kay Sites of Sites & Sutton Marketing, Scott Jensen with Planters Bank and Kayla Goad LeVan from Byers & Harvey, Inc.
Practice began months ago with local instructors Patricia Lefler and Tiffany Stahl from the Clarksville Dance Club. Participants then began rigorous one-on-one rehearsals with their individual professional partners from Dance World Nashville.
The pros are a mix of the finest instructors and national competitors in ballroom dance. This year’s lineup features Jonathan Bungard, Jennifer Kirksmith, Danny Pugh, Christopher Wayne, Annemarie Fournia, and Matt Stewart.
Months of preparation will come together Saturday night, February 18th at the APSU Mass Communications Building. The evening will be filled with fun and intense competition all with the goal of raising money for Altrusa International of Clarksville’s scholarship program for non-traditional students. Saturday night twelve recipients will be awarded scholarships totaling $8000.
Tickets are $30.00 each and are still available for the event. Tickets are available at Dunn Electric Services, from any dancer or Altrusa member. For tickets and event information call Judy Hammerstein at 931.358.0630.
