I will be participating in my first ever charity dance competition to raise money for St. Vincent Center for Children and Families in June, and my pro & I have been rehearsing! Plus, you can cast your vote for me now!

St. Vincent Center for Children and Families is a local non-profit that provides quality, affordable child care for families in the Tri-state.They currently serve over 160 children and their families. Seventy-five percent of those families are low income.  St. Vincent is hosting their annual Dancing with Our Stars, Evansville Style competition on June 13th at the Old National Events Plaza, and it will consist of local celebrities and community members partnered with local dance professionals to raise funds and compete for the mirror ball trophy. I have been partnered with dance pro, Blake Grant, a hip-hop instructor at D' Alto Studios and we have started working on our routine!

Week Seven:

Well, we are at the 2 minute mark in our song. We have decided to trim a minute of music out of it, which will make the full routine three and half minutes. Blake has worked in some pretty cool moves, unfortunately for my right knee, some of those moves involve being on the floor. My right knee is one big bruise right now! Yikes! But, you know what they say! No pain. No gain, right?! The performance is coming along nicely, and I can't wait to perform on June 13th!
