This weekend Lassen Family Services is throwing a huge party full of glitz and glamour and it is all for a good cause! The 3rd Annual Dancing for a Brand New Me event is a dance competition featuring professional dancers and local celebrities who have spent months learning and rehearsing routines and are ready to take the stage Friday and Saturday evenings at the Veterans Hall to compete in three different musical genres.
The six couples in the dance-off, which is similar to network television’s Dancing with the Stars, will perform swing and ballroom numbers and a wild-card song of their choosing while a panel of judges comments on the performances at the end of each round.
Friday night’s audience gets to vote for a ‘People’s Choice Award’ winner who will be guaranteed a berth in Saturday evening’s final round of competitions.
Along with the dance competitions there will be an extensive list of raffle prizes donated by local businesses and desserts served at intermission with a brief presentation by a guest speaker. Saturday the winning ticket will be drawn for a Ford Fiesta donated by the nice folks at Susanville Auto Center.
The annual show is designed to bring education and awareness to domestic violence as a community issue, inspire our community to speak out against domestic violence and to bring forward hope and empowerment to victims. All proceeds benefit local victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
The Lassen Family Services event will begin at 7:00 on both Friday and Saturday evenings on the stage at the Veteran’s Memorial Hall on Main Street. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at Margie’s Book Nook, Chick~A~Dee Boutique and Lassen Family Services.
