In whats is known around the area as "Dancing With The Local Stars" local media celebrities are paired with some of the areas top dancers for a one off performance. Much like the top rated TV show Dancing With The Stars.
Last year Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens had great success when Lesley Elsbury and her local celebrity Josh "Brother Love" Cohen from 94.3 Real Radio's The Home Team came in 2nd place, missing top spot by half a point, with their ChaChaCha. So this year we are hoping to bring the 1st place trophy home!
Representing us are two pairings who intend to train hard and go out to impress.
Firstly we have Craig Elsbury who has been drawn to dance with last years champion CBS news presenter Liz Quirantes. They drew the ChaChaCha and will go on stage as the 5th on the night. See below for the photo of when they first met!
Liz was delighted with her dance choice as it gives her a chance to get back to her Latin roots. And as the returning champion she will need to draw everything together if she hopes to retain her crown! She is the one to beat and everyone has her in their sights. Having said that Liz in highly motivated and competitive so don't expect her to give up her title easily!

One of the early favorite couples are also from Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens as we find our very own Olga "The Enforcer" Elsbury paired with Tim (T.A) Allan Walker from the Clear Channel morning show team!
Tim drew the dramatic Paso Doble as his dance and Olga was very pleased with the random pick. This is the first year that the Paso Doble will be featured in the competition and Olga and Tim hope to set the stage on fire! Tim has already, in the first few days, shown him self to be committed to the process and Olga "The Enforcer" is sure to get the best from her charismatic partner! Check out their first meeting below...
The competition takes place on April 16th 2011 and It is sure to be a great event no matter which couple take the title in the end. It is all for charity and tickets can be bought by following the link - http://www.kravis.org/index.cf
