Clowney, Glass named Dancing with the Local Stars champions once again in 2024

Local stars and their choreographers returned to the Majestic Theater stage last night for Dancing with the Local Stars Tournament of Champions. After practicing their moves for months, the contestants showed off their skills in front of a sold-out and energetic crowd.

Mark Clowney and Dawn Glass, 2014 Champions, were named winners of the special event. Other contestants were Jason Cole and Bridgid Wills, Ernie Kranias and Denice Staub, Kim Reiner and Holly Fox, Melody Lang and Frank Hancock, Chris Lauer and Rachel Smith, and Jeremy Lusk. Each couple performed one dance to a style of their choice. Bruce Moore, Judy Redding, and Alex J. Hayes served as judges to provide commentary, but the winner was chosen by audience vote.

Tony Mercado and The Edge Dance Complex Performing Company performed exhibition acts.

Dancing with the Local Stars began in 2010 as a fundraiser for the YWCA Gettysburg & Adams County. The first show was held in the Gettysburg Hotel Ballroom. Organizers were pleased with its popularity and moved to the much larger Majestic the next year. The Adams County Arts Council joined the production team in 2020.

“Watching everyone work so hard each year to raise money for these two organizations is so inspiring,” said Hayes, who has been on the production team since the show’s inception. “Dancing with the Local Stars brings people from all walks of life together for a fun evening focused on community.”

The show was made possible due to the stars, volunteers, and event sponsors: WellSpan, Taney Corporation, Sharon Magraw, Community Media, Dayhoff Construction, Helicopter Applicators, UPMC, Fourscore Beer Co., Ernie’s Texas Lunch, L&H Mechanical Services, Wild Juniper Farm, Gettysburg Sports Medicine, Codori Memorials, Emmitsburg Veterinary Hospital, Open Minds, Brienna Richelle Photography, and Solace Beauty and Wellness.
