Dancing with the LA Stars
It was a star-studded evening at this year’s Dancing with the Louisiana Stars fundraiser, benefitting the Louisiana Delta Ballet. This is the twelfth year for the event, that was held on Friday, March 8 at the Monroe Civic Center. Everyone in town was there to cheer on their favorite dance as seventeen local “celebrities” were paired with dancers from Louisiana Delta Ballet. Each contestant danced their heart out, but at the end of the night, only one took home first place – Aimee Hayward, with a fun number with her partner, Chris Jarosz. The crowd enjoyed food from local restaurants and drinks from Choice Brands, Marsala Beverage and Glazer Wholesale Distributors. It was a fun night to raise money for the Louisiana Delta Ballet, whose goal is to bring quality ballet to North Louisiana in order to educate young people in arts enjoyment and appreciation.
