We are so thankful to everyone who made It Takes Two 2018 possible! This year’s 10th annual event raised over $82,000 to support GroundWorks DanceTheater. This would not have been achievable if it weren’t for our celebrity dancers and their GroundWorks partners. The overall winner for most funds raised was Nancy Osgood. Richard Clark won the award for “Fan Favorite” with most votes received.
