“An evening of dinner, dancing and competition to benefit families that call Ronald McDonald House home”
The Ronald McDonald House of CT proudly parntered once again with Kids for Kids, Dancing for Life! Inc. the 4th Annual Dancing Under the Stars fundraiser on Friday, March 1, 2013 at the Omni New Haven Hotel Grand Ballroom. This is the newest of RMHCT’s signature fundraising events and is proving to be a fantastic night of dinner, dancing and competition.
This year’s dancers hailed from North Haven, West Haven, Hamden and of course our own backyard of New Haven! Each dancer was paired with a professional dance partner from Dance In Rhythm Studio and generously donated their time and talents to learning the intricacies of ballroom dance. They added their own flair to 2 choreographed dances for the audience and the judges to enjoy. Judges shared their commentaries of each performance and the evening ended with an awards ceremony decided not only by the judges – but also the audience! See Slideshow
