The Yocum Institute for Arts Education announces the 12th anniversary of their popular fundraising event, Dancing with the Reading Stars, on Friday, April 21, 2023, at the DoubleTree Hotel. New This Year! Erich Cawalla will be co-hosting and his fantastic Uptown Band will provide cocktail and dinner music as well as host the after-performance Dance Party.
Inspired by the hit television show, this annual event showcases “stars” representing Berks County’s diverse community at a fun-filled and inspiring evening. The dance pairs dance and raise money to further Yocum’s mission to provide arts education throughout the county.
Dancers choose their own music and either create their own 90-second routine or work with a Yocum Institute choreographer to assist them in developing a routine. This is not just about dancing; it’s about fun and fundraising!
This year’s star dancer pairs are:
- Johan Cruz and Jamie Lambert
- Scott Davidson and Dr. Glynis Fitzgerald
- Jadelyn De Asis and Alexis Frutos
- Alaina Hanzl and Dawn Dietrich
- Don Maher and Natan Pulido Perez
- Ebony and Kelly McNeil
- Maille and Ryan McNicholas
- Steve and Christina Ohnsman
- Ashley and Andres Ortiz
- Ethan Blakeney and Carly Futrik
Funding is raised through sponsorships, donations and votes for the dance pairs. Votes are cast in $10 increments and can be made online at https://yocuminstitute.org/dancing-with-the-reading-stars/, at the event, by mail, and over the phone at 610.376.1576. Voting is underway and concludes the night of the event on April 21 after all pairs perform. Recognition is given for the “Fan Favorite” based on the most votes and the pair who raises the most funds.
