It’s Here – Official Video From Dancing Stars Of Augusta 2024
It’s been a few months since Dancing Stars of Augusta 2024 and now there’s official video. This is an annual fundraising event for the Alzheimer’s Association where local “stars” are paired with dancing pros to perform a dance and help raise funds. This year’s event raised over $250,000 to help with fund research, advance public policy, and provide local care and support.
Back in late January, I was asked to join the lineup as one of the dancing “stars.” I will admit, I was pretty nervous about it. Especially when I found out most of the others had been brought on back in November/December. But with some dance background, I decided to go for it. Plus, it’s a cause that is so important, and I was honored to help raise funds for it.

The Process For Dancing Stars Of Augusta 2024
The entire process was a lot of fun. And I honestly forgot just how much I loved to dance. I truly miss it! When we first got started, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn’t sure if I was going to have to pick the song or if it would be chosen for me.
At our first meeting, Daniel and I immediately got to work picking a song. Since I love country music, that’s where we started. But I had no idea where it would go from there. After some input from another dancing pro, the wheels were turning more. Something made me search Toby Keith, and next thing I knew, we’d selected “A Little Less Talk (And A Lot More Action).”
I had no idea how we would do a “ballroom” type dance to this song. That’s where the pro came in. Daniel immediately started brainstorming and putting together some choreography. I have to say, I had SOME influence on it though, including some lift ideas. I told Daniel I was fine with him throwing me around, but I didn’t really want to go upside down. He said he could work with that.
And after months of weekly sessions, it was time to perform! The show was May 4th at the Columbia County Performing Arts Center. And I was a nervous wreck. We practiced in the hallway, and ran through the show on stage, but my nerves were still through the roof.
Overall, I am super proud of how we performed. Did we win? No. And I will say, I was sad about that… but ultimately, the end result was we raised a ton of money for a great cause, all while having fun!
