Stars on Stage!

FROM DANCE VICTORIA.COM:

Dance Victoria spent the last two months scouring the city for well-known community members who were ready to strut their stuff and the professional dance instructors up to the challenge of teaching them.

To make things even more exciting, in 2009 our competitors are doing it ballroom style. We’re moving out of the McPherson Playhouse and into Victoria Dance Connection where the audience will be seated around the perimeter of the dance floor. It’s intimate, it’s exciting, it’s up close and personal.

Stars on Stage UNPLUGGED 2009 welcomes:

Murray Chunyk – Victoria Fire Department

Kelly Cruickshank – International Figure Skating Technical Specialist

Lana Denoni – Oak Bay Marine Group

Heather Leary – Public Relations, Mark My Words

Cosmo Meens – Chef and Owner, Mo:Lé

Heather Robinson – Legislative Reporter, CBC-Television

Michael Shamata – Artistic Director, Belfry Theatre

Frank Stanford – News Reporter, C-FAX1070

Featured dances include salsa, swing, hip hop, tango, quick-step, waltz, rumba and West African.

Stars On Stage starts early with a red carpet entry and an extravagant silent auction.

The competition starts at 8 pm and when it’s over, the party gets started! We’ll open the bar, make room on dance floor and get the records spinning. We’ll also bring out delectable catering so you can dance the night away with all the stars you’ve just admired on stage.
