In addition to the Judges scores, audience members will help determine the winner with their vote on the night of the show.
Judging the competition this year are the Honorable Sal Panto, Mayor of the City of Easton; Kara Curry, mid-day personality on 99.9 The Hawk; and Jim Deegan, Community Editor of lehighvalleylive and The Express-Times.

This production was created five years ago by the Utah Ballroom Dance Company, a professional dance troupe featuring some of nation’s top ballroom dance athletes who have performed nationally and internationally. Dancers from the Company will be in residence for a week prior to the show, teaching the local Stars their 90-second routines.
