Nine couples are set to show off their best dance moves to help support downtown Seymour and local youth.

Tickets for the fifth installment of Dancing with the Seymour Stars are now on sale, and for the first time, people can vote for their favorite dancing couples online.

Proceeds are split between Seymour Main Street and the Boys & Girls Club of Seymour.

Last year’s show raised $92,078. In just four years, the fundraiser has brought in around $340,000.

Dancers this year are Rick Meyer and Beth VonDielingen; Dr. Nate Otte and Angie Mellencamp; Shane Crouch and Andrea Hall Crouch; Dr. Matt Pierce and Katrina Hardwick; Matt Nieman and Angie Tracey; Dr. Elton Chambers and Montica Chambers; Jeff Nolting and Michelle Schaefer; Dr. Paul Rennekamp and Angie Rennekamp; and Aaron Floyd and Sarah Arnold.

Returning dancers are Otte, who participated in 2013 and 2016; Hardwick, who has danced every year; Nieman, who competed in 2015; and Arnold, who made her first appearance last year.

Each couple will perform a dance routine, and the audience will cast votes for their favorite dancers with their checkbooks, credit cards or cash. The pair who bring in the most money will be declared the winner. A runner-up also will be determined.

Last year’s winners were Becky Boas and her son, Brad Boas.

Online voting is available at seymour mainstreet.org or bgcsey.org.
