Although this is blurry, it's trying to show all of you who the Dance Crazy Executive Director is and what she was busy doing...here is the awesome Ms. Shari Blanchard (center, holding the pad of paper).  Shari was in charge of the music and did a fan-fabulous job!

Here's another priceless Dance Crazy volunteer, Cynthia DeMichelle (center, clapping her hands).  Cynthia was in charge of all of the children getting 'on deck', and 'off deck' throughout the event.  And did you see all of her amazing signs hanging everywhere?  What great work!

Mr. Bob Englert, dance instructor for the Martin Luther King Magnet School team.  This is Bob's 3rd year teaching at MLK.  They LOVE Bob!

And what would we have done without the official score tabulator?  Here is Ms. Paige Hammond (with the vest on), and Ms. Paula Volpe.

This is Mr. Tom Hourigan, dance instructor for the Rensselaer Park Elementary School team.  Next to him is Mr. Tom Smith, Dance Crazy volunteer and teaching assistant.  And up behind Tom, third person in is Mr. Alejandro Williams who teaches at the school and was the teacher liason working with Dance Crazy.  You should see Mr. Williams dance now!!
