Twelve well-known locals will be competing in the 2013 edition of “Dancing with the Williamsburg Stars” in March.
The organizers of the event recently announced the line-up for the performance, which benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Virginia Peninsula and Literacy for Life at the Rita Welsh Adult Learning Center. The dancers include community leaders and business owners.
“Last year’s ‘Dancing with the Williamsburg Stars’ was a huge success and the whole event raised the bar to a new level,” said Ken Johnston, event co-chair. “Bringing in close to $80,000, nearly selling out the 700-seat theatre and putting on a show no one will forget was an amazing achievement for our stars and organizations.
“We’re very grateful to our 2012 stars and look forward to another sensational evening in March.”
The dancers will be working with more experienced instructors who will choreograph the routines and perform with their partners in the show, scheduled for March 2. The instructors are from 7 Cities Ballroom in Williamsburg; ArtInspired Studios and Country Bootleggers, both in Yorktown; A Step Above in Virginia Beach; and Amy’s Dance Studio in Newport News.
The dancers are:
- Ginger Ambler, College of W&M
- Brent Barth, Middle Peninsula Insurance
