Barrington Area Council on Aging (BACOA) hosted its first ever dance competition for charity at Stonegate Banquet & Conference Centre in late January. The event featured local celebrity dancers: Karen Darch, John Morrison, David Nelson, Joe Sanchez, and Erin Schectman, paired with professional dancers coordinated by Deedee Johnson of Bataille Academie of the Danse. Supporters were encouraged to vote online before the event for their favorite dancer with funds supporting BACOA. John Morrison went into the evening winning the pre-event vote. Joe Sanchez was awarded Fan Favorite, and Erin Schechtman was chosen for Judge’s Choice. bacoa.org
