Calhoun’s Dancing with the Stars Gets Schooled set for May performances at GEM Theatre
After five years of Calhoun’s Dancing with the Stars teams consisting of dancers from the local business and civic community, the format has changed this year and nine teams of students from all three high schools will participate in this year’s installment of Mohawk Presents Calhoun’s Dancing with the Stars Gets Schooled.
“We are proud to announce a change to our format this year,” said a representative of the show.
The nine couples representing all three local high schools are: The teams of Julia Palazzolo and Joseph Taylor, Kathrynn Stockman and Matthew Adcock, Kelsey Hall and Kade Wright, and Sarah Green and Zeke Nance from Calhoun High School; Gordon Central High School’s teams of Elizabeth Dutch and Ryan Morrell, and Madison Reyes and Chandler Smith; and the teams of Allie Childers and Jose Trenti, Kirsten Gordon and Logan Hannah, and Natalie Mathis and Garrison Baumgardner from Sonoraville High School. Each dancing participant will be awarded a $500 scholarship upon completion of the show.
Mohawk Presents Calhoun’s Dancing with the Stars Gets Schooled is set for performances at the GEM Theatre on Friday, May 12 and Saturday, May 13. The GEM Theatre is located at 114 North Wall Street in downtown Calhoun.
