So you think you can dance? You may think again after seeing the ballroom pros in action.
Champions of the Dance will be spinning onto the Englert Theatre stage in downtown Iowa City at 8 p.m. Friday.
You'll see the fancy footwork of dancers featured in ABC's “Dancing with the Stars,” the BBC's “Strictly Come Dancing” and “The American Ballroom Challenge.”
Among those luminaries are Andrey Motyl and Inna Brayer from “Dancing with the Stars”; national champions Hugo Villanueva and Jessica McMorrow; German youth champions Thanh Tran and Zoya Altmark; and theater arts champions David and Natalie Wakefield.
They'll be whirling, twirling, dipping and flipping to the waltz, fox trot, Charleston, quickstep and jive, as well as the passionate Latin rhythms of the cha-cha, rumba, mambo and more.
Audience members will no doubt be as breathless as the stars afterward.
Tickets are $35 and $30 at the Englert Box Office, 221 E. Washington St., (319) 688-2653 and www.iowatix.com
