TV weather reporter, ‘Rock Star Nutritionist’ to lead Day of Dance event

PLAINFIELD, Ind. – WTHR-13 Weekend Sunrise meteorologist Nicole Misencik will share more than weather forecasts later this month.

She will serve as host for hundreds of central Indiana women, their families and friends attending the 9th Spirit of Women Day of Dance sponsored by Franciscan St. Francis Health.

Day of Dance steps off 9 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 25, at Primo West Banquet & Conference Center, 2353 E. Perry Road, Plainfield. The event, which continues through mid-afternoon, is for women of all ages, offering dancing and other aerobic activities which may help prevent heart disease.

Participants are encouraged to bring their children with them for a special jam session with “Rock Star Nutritionist” Jill Jayne, who has traveled the country extensively to promote health and wellness among schoolchildren. She has performed all over the country teaching parents and children the perfect harmony of food and activity through song and dance.

The annual event provides live dance demonstrations and instruction, music and a light vegetarian lunch. There will be several free health screenings offered, including cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure, as well as others.

Admission to Day of Dance is free, but advanced registration is strongly encouraged. To register, call 317-782-4422, or go to stfrancishospitals.org/women.
