Tony Dovolani and Elena Grinenko's sensual rumba showcase performance at the Ohio Star Ball

Fred Astaire dance champions Jackie Josephs and
Jesse Desoto (around 2:30). Enjoy!
As many of you know, the partnership between Fred Astaire
Dance Studios and Variety
"The Children's Charity" has continued to grow.
At this years national competition in Florida, Variety of
Orlando was able to share its mobility story about
helping children at a local elementary school
thanks to donations made by Fred Astaire owners,
teachers and students at last years Mix and Match competition.
Variety of Orlando used the money donated by Fred Astaire
Dance Studios to purchase the automatic
door opener for Winter Springs Elementary.
Abigail, Emily, their grandparents, sisters and mother
came to this years competition and presented Jack Rothweiler
with a thank you card from all the children at the school.
After the presentation, an anonymous dancer generously donated
$10,000 to Variety of Orlando to help more children in need!
Variety of Orlando and Variety of the U.S. are incredibly
grateful to Jack Rothweiler, Pahjmon Lipsey and
all the students and dancers from Fred Astaire
Dance Studios who helped make this wish a reality
for Emily and Abigail. The generosity of everyone associated with
Fred Astaire Dance Studios humbles and overwhelms us.
Thank you!
