Sheila has an advantage over some of the celebs in this dance competition because she actually IS a dancer.

'Cause when I'm bad I'm so, so bad

Sarah Robichaud put together this playful, sexy event to raise funds for her project, Dancing with Parkinson's. Since the start of Sarah's first class for people with Parkinson's disease, the studio has been filled to capacity, and there is a waiting list for spaces. Sarah wants to run a second weekly class so that more people with parkinson's can participate in free dance/movement classes.
