The twinkle toes of some of Barrie's celebrities will get a workout tonight as they show off their dance moves for a worthy cause.
Dancing with the Stars Barrie is set to kick off tonight, putting some famous faces in the spotlight to dance their hearts out to support literacy in Barrie.
"Everybody's really nervous and excited. Our local celebrities are getting in the competitive spirit," said Mona Tranter, owner of the Tranter Institute, which is hosting the fundraiser to benefit the Barrie Public Library. "I think some couples are more ready than others, but I think they'll all step it up once the competition begins."
The list of competitors includes: Janet Kemp of the Barrie's Business Improvement Association (BIA), Jamie Hall and Tara Dawn from B101 FM, Coun. Lynn Strachan and Sybil Goruk, of the Greater Barrie Chamber of Commerce. All participants will be paired with dancers from the Tranter Institute.
Tonight is the first of four competition nights at the Southshore Community Centre. Doors open at 7 p. m. and the show begins at 8 p. m.
Tickets are $25 in advance, or $30 at the door.
