Check it Out with Chelsea: Dancing Stars of Wilkes-Barre

Newswatch 16's Chelsea Strub takes us to a rehearsal for a big performance on Saturday night in Wilkes-Barre.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — After a four-year hiatus because of the pandemic, a fundraiser for an inclusive children's theatre returns to the Diamond City!

The Dancing Stars of Wilkes-Barre to benefit The KISS Theatre will be taking place Saturday, February 25th at the F.M. Kirby Center.

The fundraiser is modeled after the ABC dance competition show, Dancing with the Stars. In this version, ten local celebrities are paired with area performers to compete on stage in a one-night-only performance. Ticket sales, a silent auction, and voting for a couple for the 'People's Choice Award' raises money for the children's theatre.

Watch the video above to check out Chelsea's first rehearsal with her partner, Mike Walton, and their choreographer Mary Siejak.
