Could your dance video impress Derek Hough?

Local teens and teen dance groups have the chance to shine in a dance competition hosted by MultiCare Center for Healthy Living. The competition is open to teens ages 14 to 18 in groups of three to each people. You don't have to be a pro dancer. The competition is open to all styles and skill levels of dance. Have fun with it. Get crazy. Or show off your serious side. Whatever the spirit moves you to do.

To enter, make a one-minute video of your performance. Post that video to YouTube. Then send the video link to Trixy Dorn at trixy.dorn@multicare.org. You must do this by Friday, Jan. 18.

Groups will be judged by a panel - which includes at least one professional dancer - on their cool use of clothing and accessories, innovation in dance style and overall creativity. The top three will go head to head on Feb. 6 at MultiCare Center's 13th annual "Do Something Healthy" event.

"The best part is a chance to perform in front of our celebrity judge, Derek Hough, from Dancing with the Stars," says Trixy Dorn, community events coordinator for MultiCare Center for Healthy Living.

"Do Something Healthy" is an evening event that includes a health fair, health screenings and a presentation by a special guest speaker. In the past, guests have included Jillian Michaels and Shaun White. This year, Dorn hopes to bring in at least 1,200 community members to the event.
