Six members of the Lehigh Valley community will partner with dance professionals as they compete in the second annual "Dancing with Your Lehigh Valley Stars" on April 21 at 7:30 p.m., at the State Theatre in Easton. Proceeds will benefit the theater's Freddy Awards program. The professional ballroom dancers are from the Utah Ballroom Dance Company, which created the event five years ago featuring some of the nation's top ballroom dance athletes who have performed nationally and internationally. Dancers from the company will be in residence for the next week teaching their local partners their 90-second routines. The local stars are Annie Episcopo of Alvin H. Butz; Ashley Russo of The Peak/ASR Media Productions; Becca Lynn of CAT Country 96; Stephen Wilson of Easton Hospital; Frank Facchiano of Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Scott Kalamar of Northampton Community College. Judges will be Easton Mayor Sal Panto; Kara Curry, midday personality on 99.9 The Hawk, and Jim Deegan, community editor of lehighvalleylive and The Express-Times. For further info: statetheatre.org
