Dancing with the Cherry Hill Stars
Dancing with the Cherry Hill Stars is Sunday, May 6, at 7 p.m. in the New Auditorium at Cherry Hill High School West. Two contestants, Joe DeMarco of DeMarco Dance Center in Merchantville and Jenny Ryan, who publishes SNJ Business People, had not met prior to their first rehearsal. DeMarco heard about Dancing with the Cherry Hill Stars through one of his adult students, and said that he grabbed the chance to do a live performance since he spends most of his time teaching and choreographing.  He said that many of his dance students and many of his friends’ children attend Cherry Hill schools, making the cause particularly relevant to him.
