The incredibly creative performances wowed and entertained the audience, while our community also did an incredible job in engaging and supporting our dancers. While the true winners are Clubs’ kids, three top awards went to Dr. Nisha Tung & Lungani Gwala for “Judge’s Choice” for best performance; Sheriff David Rhodes & Carie Hughes for “People’s Choice Award” for most votes; and Matt Brassard and Dre Caldwell took home the mirror ball for “Best Friendraiser”, for raising the highest amount in overall donations.
