“It was a spectacular day of dancing, laughter, friendship and fun all in the pursuit of better health and vitality,” said Lori Warner, director of Women and Children’s Services for Franciscan St. Francis Health.  “We really enjoyed meeting new people in the community.”

Hightower has traded steps with a stream of, athletes and other well-known stars in her role as a partner/choreographer on Dancing with the Stars. She also was paired with Helio Castroneves – three time winner of the Indianapolis 500 – as they won top honors to cap the show’s fifth season.

The goal of the event is to offer an exciting and interactive way to get people moving through exercise that is creative, expressive and fun.
