Some of the strongest dance routines in the history of Dancing with Vero’s Stars were enjoyed Saturday evening, May 14 on the Riverside Theatre stage, raising over $292,000 for Indian River Healthy Start Coalition. The 655-seat sold-out Theatre was full of people on their feet with multiple standing ovations, while the four-hour evening glowed with tasty food, impeccable décor, an inviting Silent Auction and unlimited entertainment filled with the sounds of thunderous applause, boisterous hoorays and raucous laughter.
Ten local “star” dancers, matched with ten local dance instructors, dressed in tinsel and glitter, danced with joy and pride as they performed Swing, Cha Cha, Tango, waltz, Hip Hop and more twists and turns than one could have imagined.
