"It's something that we love to do, and passing on our gift to somebody else that ultimately supports a wonderful cause, is a great thing," Jenny Lido of The Country Academy of Dance said. 

Each couple showed off their moves to an overwhelmingly enthusiastic crowd.   Performances were rated by a panel of three judges who had the task of selecting one couple to be the winner. With stellar routines ranging from ballroom to hip hop, their work was cut out for them.  

In the end, the winning couple was Tricy Cushner and Joe Plamer, who performed a charming east-coast swing style boy-meets-girl routine with the perfect music choice of "ABC" by the Jackson 5.

The crowd was also treated to live music from the band Class Action, who donated their exceptional talents and got the crowd moving on the dance floor.

Plans have already begun for next year's fundraiser.
