I'm so excited - we learned recently that one of my best friends from high school and the person I danced with at our Pops Concerts all four years is actually going to be able to attend Fort Wayne Dancing with the Stars!
Stan is coming up for another event in Indy that just happens to be the very same weekend. So I'll really be having my "peeps" in the audience to help support and cheer on "team Donna"! We're so excited - Stan said on the phone recently, "well, we were going to surprise you, but I thought that would freak you out!" - and it completely would have.....I love surprises, but not on a night when I should be concentrating 100%. Here are a few photos from 1976-1979 - the dancing years of Dancing Donna and Dancing Stan - a ballroom dance with the jazz band backing us up live (Glenn Miller lives on!), a disco number (it was the 70's - what did you expect? And I would kill to have that waist size again!) and a crazy dance with black lights and an Electric Light Orchestra mix by the late Larry Reed (those are icicles that are sparkling that my mom sewed onto the end of white gloves as part of our costume - and those are fishnet hose). We had so much fun back then - and it's incredibly special that Stan and Kent will be "in the house" and there for me!
