The
event, sponsored by Franciscan
St. Francis Health, gets under way at 9 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 23, inside the
Farm Bureau Building at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, 1202 E. 38th
St. 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.
Hightower, who will host the
event, has traded steps with a stream of, athletes and other well-known stars in
her role as a partner/choreographer on Dancing
with the Stars. She also was paired with Helio Castroneves – three time
winner of the Indianapolis 500 – as they won top honors to cap the show’s fifth
season.
The fleet-footed
choreographer’s career blossomed nationally in 2008, when she became a fan
favorite on the So You Think You Can
Dance television reality series.
Among
those joining Hightower to lead activities at the Day of Dance are the Indiana
Pacemates, cheer squad for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers.
