They swayed, sashayed and salsa'd across the stage at the Red Robinson Show Theatre Saturday evening.
And in the end, the second annual Dancing With Our Stars fundraiser collected more than $12,000 for the Crossroads Hospice Society.
"It was a phenomenal event," said DWOS organizer Dee Parry, a Tri-City News sales rep. "The entertainment was outstanding. The dancing was absolutely incredible. We couldn't have asked for anything more."
The trophy for best overall dancer went to Dan Stroup (with dancing partner Barbara Lynn Copp), a Port Coquitlam resident and assistant coach with the Washington Stealth of the National Lacrosse League, while Kent Magnuson (with partner Brooke Foster), general sales manager for PoCo's Metro Ford Motors, collected the best technical dancing prize.
Other business and civic leaders who showed off their talents that night were Janine Davies, Diana Dilworth, Bob Lee, Scott Masse, Danielle McLellan, Kyle O'Genski and Selina Robinson - three of whom are running for office in the Nov. 19 civic elections locally: Dilworth for Port Moody council; Lee for PoCo school trustee; and Robinson for Coquitlam council.
