Amateur dancer Pete Currie will be representing the Community Living Foundation

TRAVERSE CITY, MI  – There was plenty of jump, jivin’ and wailin’ Friday evening, September 4th, as the walls of the over 100 year-old restored downtown City Opera House reverberated to the sounds of swing music and dancers.

The occasion was the kick off of the second annual “Swingshift and the Stars” dance competition, a fund raising and public awareness event that pairs six regional charities with a like number of local celebs and their dance instructors.

Amateur dancer Pete Currie will be representing the Community Living Foundation  in the four-event dance series, and he’s paired with local choreographer Erin (Gallagher) Peck.  For their first competition at the Opera House Friday, October 2nd, they’ll be dancing the Latin dance—the Cha Cha Cha.
