dancing with our stars 2015 A nnual charity dance-off Dancing With Our Stars is coming March 7, featuring ten couples composed of Calhoun County’s best and brightest local celebrities. As in prior years, couples are paired randomly from a list of volunteers recruited by the Morning and Noon Rotary Clubs of Anniston and experienced area dancers, who then start practicing for the show in March. As couples study their dances together, the volunteers can find themselves performing maneuvers they never thought possible. Last year’s event sold out, so buying tickets early is encouraged. General admission is $25 and VIP seating is $90, which includes meeting the dancers, food, drinks, a DJ and dancing. Call Edgar and Associates at (256) 237-1773 for ticket information and visit dancingforrotary.com for more information, including dancer blogs and detailed charity information. • Chris O’Rear (Gadsden State Community College) and Amber Harris • Cherie Johnson (Licensed Physician’s Asst. at RMC) and Terry Davis “Last year, my supervisor, Gayle Macolly danced with Dr. Bob Garner and they won the Community Choice award and tied for Audience Choice,” said Carolyn Kirk, a member of the Rotary. “Gayle had no formal lessons and she ended up being able to do lifts and many difficult steps. It’s amazing how well the couples dance at the event.” • Johnny Byrd (Executive Director of Boys & Girls Club) and Randi Jo Owens Dancing With Our Stars has raised more than $300,000
