United States rhythm champions  to perform in Rochester (this one I'm copying 
& pasting, as it just came in-  that's why it's long!)
























 
 


The Rochester  Fred Astaire Dance Studio is bringing in Tony Dovolani and his 
partner, Elena  Grinenko, on Saturday, April 15th to judge a charity dance 
event to be held at  the Eagles Club (409 First Ave SW, Rochester, MN 55902). 
The event will also  include a celebrity dance-off entitled "So You Think You 
Can Dance?" featuring  local media personalities and co-sponsored by the dance 
studio and FOX 47. It  will promote the second season of FOX's popular dance 
show of the same name  which kicks off in May. The finale of the evening will be 
a showcase of  shimmies, swivels and spins--a dazzling array of the Latin 
dance routines that  earned Dovolani & Grinenko the US title. 

On April 15, Dovolani and  Grinenko judge local celebrities in FOX 47's "So 
You Think You Can Dance?" The  stars will dance two routines each with their 
professional partners, instructors  from Fred Astaire Dance Studio. Amy Kuns, 
evening news anchor on FOX 47, will  dance the Cha Cha and the Foxtrot with her 
partner Winston Fine. Tracy Dixon,  popular morning DJ on FOX Country 102.5, 
will exhibit the same two dances with  instructor Chris Zann. The two male 
celebrities will perform the Rumba and the  Tango. Laser 101.7 DJ Jason Lee is 
paired with instructor Sina Quetone and the  newest addition to the Rochester 
media scene, DJ and station manager Jay Brooks  of FOX Country 102.5, dances with 
Brenda Michie.

Fans can log on to  www.fox47kxlt.com and go to the "Contest" section to view 
clips of each star's  first routine and vote for their favorite. Online votes 
will be combined with  the judges' scores on the 15th to determine a winner. 
While you're logged on,  register to win a dance with Dovolani or Grinenko 
during the social dancing that  evening. You are also invited to join the dance 
champions for a social hour and  dinner. Advance tickets are $30 for admission 
and $30 for dinner. For further  information on how you can participate and to 
purchase tickets contact Fred  Astaire Dance Studio at  507-282-9811.
