Dance Coalition (a Northwest Arkansas non-profit group of choreographers and dancers) will host the 5th Annual “So You Think You Know how to Dance?” Competition and Fundraiser event at the Clarion in Fayetteville, 1255 S. Shiloh Dr., Fayetteville, AR 72701, on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 6:30 p.m.

The event, which is sponsored by Tyson Foods, kicks off with an Appetizer Hour & Silent Auction. The dance competition will be hosted by Fox 24’s Brad Reed and will feature dancers of all ages and dance styles showing off their best moves for the competition judges, Jerry Kendrick, Michelle Brekelbaum, and Jennifer Davis. The audience will get to vote with their donation dollars for their favorite top dancers, who compete for trophies, dance scholarships, and bragging rights.

Dancers may register for the competition by visiting www.dancecoalition.com, completing a registration form, and mailing it with their registration fee by Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Cost to register is only $20 for solos or duos. Groups add $5 per additional person. Entries are limited to 25 juniors (ages 7 – 13) and 25 seniors (ages 14 – adult). A duo or group is considered a single entry, and dancers may compete as both a solo and in a group if they would like.

Appetizer Hour and Silent Auction Tickets (which include premium seating for the competition) are $25 and General Admission for the competition is only $10. Tickets will be available for purchase at the Dance and More Store on main in Johnson or by visiting www.dancecoalition.com.
