Dancing with the Charlotte Stars 2013 is over. Our six stars have raised the bar for future contestants. More than 400 people came out to cheer on their favorites (many of us had more than one favorite) and donate to the Arts & Humanities Council through People’s Choice balloting.

Our six dancers (Jessica Boles, Mike Hearn, Dennis Kirk, Bill Klossner, Blair Lovejoy and Cheyenne Young) raised over $20,000, which will support the council’s programs for the year. The balloting was neck-and-neck all night until a white knight came forward and put Hearn over the top.
