The Education Foundation of Lake County is pleased to host the 15th Annual Stepping Out for Education where local celebrities compete on the ballroom floor!

The three female and three male competitors will step out of their comfort zone during two full performances: Friday, July 23, 2021 and Saturday, July 24, 2021. This year’s event is at a new venue, with a new format at the Clermont Performing Arts Center, located at 3700 US 27.

The six local celebrities and their professional dance partners will dance the Fox Trot, Rumba, Cha Cha, Swing and Tango. Each celebrity receives 20 hours of instruction and will be ready to perform for you!

The local celebrities are:

  • Dr. Emily Feltner, Assistant Superintendent, Lake County Schools
  • Dina Simpson, Owner, Renew Day Spa
  • Tyler Borowski, Deputy Tax Collecter
  • Jerome Brouhard, Manager/Sommelier, Maggie’s Attic
  • Mayor Tim Murry, City of Clermont

The evening will begin with hot hors d’oeuvres catered by Lake County Schools Culinary departments in the center lobby. A champagne and dessert reception will be offered during intermission.

All proceeds benefit students and teachers in Lake County Schools.
