Max and Jenn to Perform at Special Olympics Winter Games
2012
VSA arts winning Dancin’ Duo of Max Dingeman and Jennifer Howard will perform at the closing ceremonies of the Special Olympics Michigan Winter Games. The pair will once again be in the spotlight following their recent winning performances during the fall 2011 Swingshift and the Stars Dance-Off for Charity in Traverse City, where they captured first place honors.
Representing VSA arts, Max and Jenn will perform a ballroom dance routine at the Grand Traverse Resort Thursday evening, February 9.
“It was a unanimous decision,” said Kimberly Purdy, Director of Public Relations & Marketing for SOMI. “As one of our former athletes, we want Max to perform at this important event for Special Olympics.” This year’s Winter Games theme is ‘Everyday Heroes.’
The State Winter Games will take place February 7-10 at Grand Traverse Resort & Spa, Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek Resort and Howe Ice Arena at the Grand Traverse Civic Center. Approximately 1,700 athletes, coaches, chaperones, area management team members and volunteers will attend the 2012 State Winter Games. During competition athletes showcase the skills they’ve learned from months of intense training.
