Add Review/Comment

The Carolina Heartland chapter of USA Dance will promote two health benefits when it holds its sixth annual Black Tie Ball on Saturday, March 27, at the Four Seasons Koury Convention Center, in Greensboro, NC. The theme this year, "Puttin' on the Ritz,." features black tie and pink boas. Besides dinner and dancing from 6:15 - 11 pm, an art show and raffle are planned. Because of the benefits derived from ballroom dancing and early breast cancer tests, the chapter has teamed with Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test® to promote a twin message for all ages. Working closely with the Friends® organization, members are selling sponsor packages ranging from $250 to $2,500, all designated for Friends® cancer research. Tickets for the dinner-dance are $55 until March 20 with proceeds directed to Friends® for ongoing research for the early detection of breast cancer. Publicity for this event is intended to remind the public of the multiple benefits of ballroom dancing from the physical exercise, which promotes balance and agility, to the mental acuity demanded in the execution of a Tango or Paso Doble. There is also the social benefit of interacting with people who share a love of dance. Testimonies from several Greensboro physicians recognize the health benefits, especially for seniors. Dr. Karl Fields, a sports medicine doctor, filmed several Carolina Heartland members dancing for a medical seminar last year.
