Local competitors were paired up with professional dancers from Los Angeles and were trained how to dance. This annual event, modeled after the TV show, "Dancing with the Stars," is a fundraiser for the Summit Medical Center Health Foundation, a non-profit that raises money for improvements to St. Anthony Summit Medical Center hospital in Frisco, Colorado.
This is the third year I shot this pro-bono event and it's always a great time. Summit County community member trade in their puffy coats and hiking boots for black tie gowns and tuxedos.
