Dancing with our Stars: Meet the Stars – Susie Morgan

Each year, community leaders wear their dancing shoes for the coveted winning title that is earned at the Dancing with Our Stars Gala. All this fun and friendly competition benefits the Children’s Tumor Foundation and supports the Arkansas chapter’s research and mission: to end and find a cure for neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that disturbs cell growth in the nervous system, causing tumors to form on nerve tissue.

Children’s Tumor Foundation also provides support for children and families affected by NF. A portion of gala proceeds is donated for grants to send Arkansas teens to the International NF Camp.
We’re putting each star in the spotlight and introducing them on our blog. They will compete at the Sept. 9 gala, in addition to soliciting contributions + votes prior to the event.

In her own words…

Why did you chose to participate as a Star in the Children’s Tumor Foundation’s Dancing with Our Stars event? 
I love ballroom dancing and took lessons almost 10 years ago. Michele Towne knew I liked to dance and asked me if I’d be interested.  I didn’t know about the CTF event, I was interested in learning more.

What type of dance have you always wanted to learn?
My dream is to someday learn the Argentine Tango.

What is your dance claim to fame?
When I was taking lessons in 2012, I won an award as a newcomer when I danced the Rumba. I even have a trophy! I’ve always loved to dance. In fact, years ago I did a classical jazz dance to Fifth of Beethoven when I competed in the Miss Arkansas pageant.

What is your biggest performance fear?
Just hoping I keep the pace and remember the steps!
