All of the practicing will pay off Saturday night for one local celebrity as a new Dancing with the Stars Chattanooga winner is crowned at the Tivoli Theatre.
The contestants — Alexis Bogo, Ed Harrison, Josh McManus, Kelly Brexler, Lynda Hood and Dr. Marc Cromie — have spent the last several weeks working with professional dance partners from Fred Astaire studios. They will do their best to impress the judges beginning at 8 p.m.
As a special treat, “Dancing With the Stars” dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy will perform during the evening.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Partnership for Families, Children and Adults. You can go online to vote for the fan favorite and make a $10 donation with each vote at dancingwiththestarschatt anooga.com.
