A Dancing With The Stars style event coming to North Bay

A Dancing With the Stars style event is coming to North Bay.

It’s a fundraiser for Easter Seals Ontario.

It culminates in an event at the Davedi Club on Friday, March 22nd.

Joanne Bowers is the Development Officer for Easter Seals in Northeastern Ontario.

She says there are 6 teams taking part in Dancing With Easter Seals Stars and each team has a dance instructor and a star.

Bowers says the public can be involved as well by supporting a team on line.

“The dancers need to get votes to get into the top three. So it’s scores and votes that count. Then the judges make the final decision when those three pairs perform,” she says.

One of the stars is J.P. Fournier. He says him and his partner Jayde Vaillancourt are busy preparing.

“There are 2 dances, 90 seconds each. I’ve got two thirds of my slow dance done,” he says.

Funds support mobility equipment for clients and camp experiences.

Other celebrities include Joshua Pride, John Strang, Guy Faucher, Andre Purcell and Mark Deacon.
