Dancing With Our Heroes


The Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios of New England are
partnering together for a fund-raising “Dancing with Our Heroes” Gala to be
held Sunday, November 10, 2013 at the Connecticut Convention Center in
Hartford.



The event will feature general dancing, a sit-down dinner, a
silent auction, a professional show and the “Dancing with Our Heroes”
competition. The proceeds of the event will be donated to The Friends of Fisher
House Connecticut for the construction of a Fisher House on the grounds of the
West Haven VA. The goal is to raise $200,000.



The
“Dancing with Our Heroes” competition will be a Ballroom & Latin dance
competition between our military heroes, who will each be partnered with a
professional dance instructor. Each participating Fred Astaire Dance Studio
will provide the instructors and free lessons to help the hero prepare for the
competition. There will be no cost to the hero for participation. Winners will
be selected by audience votes and a panel of celebrity judges
