2021 Dancing with the Reading Stars

The Yocum Institute for Arts Education announces the 10th anniversary of their popular fundraising event, Dancing with the Reading Stars, on Saturday, May 22, 2021, at Stokesay Castle, 141 Stokesay Castle Lane, Reading, PA 19606.

Inspired by the hit television show, this annual event showcases “stars” representing Berks County’s diverse community at a fun-filled and inspiring evening. The dance pairs dance and raise money to further Yocum’s mission to provide arts education throughout the county.

This year presents a very special opportunity. The Henry Family is generously matching all donations, dollar-for-dollar, to help offset the loss of funds due to 2020’s cancelled event. Yocum’s programs directly impact more than 30,000 people each year. Money raised through Dancing with the Reading Stars supports on-going operations, scholarships, productions, and many outreach programs - half of which are provided at little or no cost.

Eleven dance pairs, including a “Exhibition Couple", are participating this year, and each pair is excited for their live debut on Stokesay’s ballroom dance floor on Saturday, May 22. This year’s star couples are: Shawn Barczynski and Nicole Vega; MaCherie Dunbar and Bethany Bower; Guy and Ryan Griffin-Silveri; Amy and Jason Hendrix; Holly James and Chris Madara; Emily and Dillon Kenniston Jmilee and JR Koch; Ginelle and Eric Miller; Kate Peires and Tim Greusel; and Helene Reeser and Erich Cawalla

Dancers choose their own music and either create their own 90-second routine, or work with a Yocum Institute choreographer to assist them in developing a routine. This is not just about dancing; it’s about fun and fundraising!
