Dancing with the Hendricks County Stars is right around the corner, and ten community members are busy perfecting their routines with their professional partners from Arthur Murray Dance Center in Avon.
The event is the major annual fundraiser for the Hendricks County Historical Museum.
Contestants have been cramming lessons into their busy lives, so they can shake it on the dance floor. They’re learning everything from the Hustle to the Waltz.
Judges will select a “Best Dancer,” and a “People’s Choice” will be selected by guests when they buy tickets or donate to a dancer.
Friday evening was the final dress rehearsal for Dancing with the Hendricks County Stars.
Brian Fowler, detective with the Plainfield Police Department said, “I’m nervous. It’s very nerve-wracking. I am out of my element. I”m not used to performing in front of a bunch of people.”
Deanna Hindsley, museum president and event coordinator said, “With the larger venue, we’re able to extend ticket sales until midnight Sunday.”
The event will include a dinner catered by Plainfield’s Coachman Restaurant and a wine and beer bar.
Guests can eat, drink, and … of course… dance.
Tickets are $65 each and still available.
The event is April 6 from 6-10 p.m. at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds Expo Hall, 1900 E. Main Street, Danville.
The dance competition starts at 8 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.hendrickscountymuseum.org.
