4th Annual DANCING WITH YOUR LEHIGH VALLEY STARS Set For 4/26

Local Stars will rehearse with professionals the week leading up the big event and will be dressed up in glitzy costumes performing their routines during the first part of the show. Part 2 of the show features the professional dancers in action until the winner of the famous Mirror Ball is announced at the end of the show! In addition to the Judges scores, audience members will help determine the winner with their vote on the night of the show.

Judging the competition this year are the Honorable Sal Panto, Mayor of the City of Easton; Anne Baum, Vice President, Capital BlueCross, Lehigh Valley; and Michael Anthony, General Sales Manager of Connoisseur Media.

Dancing with the Lehigh Valley Stars is on Thursday, April 26th at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $30 ($15 for students) and proceeds will benefit the State Theatre's FREDDY© Awards program. For tickets call 1-800-999-STATE, purchase online at www.statetheatre.org or visit the State Theatre Box Office at 453 Northampton Street in Easton.

This production was created seven years ago by the Utah Ballroom Dance Company, a professional dance troupe featuring some of nation's top ballroom dance athletes who have performed nationally and internationally. Dancers from the company will be in residence for a week prior to the show, teaching the local Stars their 90-second routines.
