Behind the Scenes: Dancing with the Celebrities | Arts & Culture

Christian Youth Theater - Spokane will hold its fifth annual "Dancing with the Celebrities" event at the Bing Crosby Theater on April 28 and I'm honored to be one of this year's "celebrities" (or so they say).

My instructor/choreographer Darci Lord and I have been putting in 3-5 hours a week for the past two months, as she teaches me how to Cha Cha.  We'll be dancing to Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger," while adding a little 1970's disco flare (yes, I just said flare).

I'm the latest from KXLY to participate in DWTC.  Robyn Nance, Mike Gonzalez, Dave Sposito and Molly Allen, last year's champion, have also strutted their stuff on stage in DWTC.  Molly is back to defend her title, but my aim is to knock her off, while keeping the crown in the KXLY family.

Other celebrities participating this year include Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart, Hoopfest Executive Director Rick Steltenpohl and Step UP Spokane Director and former KHQ anchor/reporter Julie Humphreys. To order tickets for DWTC online, click here.
