Vote for your favorite Dancing For A Brand New Me couple

They’ve been dancing for five years, helping raise awareness about domestic violence and fundraising for Lassen Family Services. Now, in the weeks leading up to the annual show, supporters can vote for their favorite couple to win the People’s Choice Award.

Set for Oct. 19 and 20, six couples will take to the stage and show off their moves for the fifth annual Dancing For A Brand New Me competition.

Each team is comprised of a professional dancer and a star from the community. This year, Alex McElrath and Shantel Thompson, Seanne McElrath and Shannon Cook, Celeste Wiser and Larry McCracken, Doria Dalu and Pastor Rick Conrad, Luke Peterson and Kristie Jimenez and Terra Avilla and David Teeter, are practicing their routines and are ready to wow the judges.

However, while the dance couples are still perfecting their chorography, supporters have the opportunity to vote for their favorite pair: $1 is one vote for a couple, according to Lassen Family Services Deputy Director Kirby Lively.
