2015 DWTS

Dancing with the Stars for Hope was a fundraising event that benefitted Circle of Hope and the Habersham County Rotary Club. They partnered together and hosted this exciting event on the night of March 28, 2015. The event spotlighted local professional and celebrity dancers! Click Me for a full write-up about the night's dances.

Ramona and Matthew were selected as two of the local twelve "professional dancers" that were partnered with twelve "local Habersham County celebrity dancers".

Ramona was partnered with Dr. Joshua Garrett of Garrett Family Medicine.

Matthew was partnered with Dr. Judy Taylor, President of the Habersham County Chamber of Commerce, 2015.

We worked with our celebrity partners throughout the winter of 2015, teaching them their routines, fine-tuning it as we went along and we each had a great time dancing their respective dance routines on the night of March 28, 2015 at the dancing event.

Ramona's dance routine with Josh was well received by the crowd as they danced through a jive routine inspired by the movie "Risky Business" dance sequence to Old Time Rock-n-Roll ......and yes ladies, Josh was sporting his socks, boxers and pink shirt, and not much more.

Matt and Judy danced a two-step, waltz and foxtrot combination that told the story of "boy meets girl - boy chases girl - boy dates girl and boy marries girl" to songs like Dance With Me Henry for the two-step, Their Hearts Are Dancing for the waltz and Love and Marriage for the foxtrot.

While neither routine that Ramona and Matt choreographed won on the dancing competition side, Judy & Matt did take home a mirror ball trophy for the team that raised the most money for the event. Judy said early on that all Matt had to do was to teach her to dance and that she would take care of the fund-raising. To her credit, she raised almost $14,000 for Circle of Hope and The Rotary Club. Overall, the event raised over $64,000. Thank you to one and all for your support and coming out to watch us dance!!
