The Kent Parks Foundation and Arthur Murray Dance Studios hosted the third annual Dancing With The Stars Kent last Saturday to a near capacity crowd at Green River Community College.
The enthusiasm and cheering for the local celebrities, paired with Arthur Murray dance professionals, made for an exciting, fun-filled event.
Judges for the event included Russ Clark, Area 6 director for Arthur Murray, International; Agnes Kazmierczak, international dance champion who has appeared on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars”; and State Rep. Dave Upthegrove.
Proceeds from the event will support the return of beloved pianist Alpin Hong, who has been a motivational presence for youth in his past performances in Kent.
Additional funds will supply new tools for Green Kent volunteer stewards.
KPF would like to thank Arthur Murray and local sponsors for their support.

For more than 100 years, the iconic Arthur Murray Dance Schools have been teaching the world to dance. For more information, contact TJ Lacy at 253-941-1841, amdance2@washingtondancesport.com, or visit www.YouCouldBeDancing.com.
