Oh what an evening it promises to be! Friday night’s dress rehearsal for the Dancing For A Brand New Me show gave dancers, sound and light technicians and stage crew their first glimpse of this year’s show in its entirety – and the 2015 edition of the Lassen Family Services fundraiser looks to be a hit!

For the dancers, who have spent nearly six months learning their routines, it was a chance to try out the stage at the Veterans Hall and get a feel for the room. Watching them perform it was easy to see just how much effort each couple had put into their three numbers.
