Belinda Winslett, a real estate agent with Signature Brokers, won Fan Favorite at Dancing with the Chattanooga Stars last month.

Chattanooga’s local celebrity dance-off took place June 21 at the Tivoli Theatre. The event featured eight local celebrities in a dance-off competition to win their own trophy and raise money for their chosen Partnership program.

Winslett chose the nonprofit’s deaf services program in honor of her late daughter, Brooke, who was hearing impaired.

Each Chattanooga celebrity was paired with a professional dancer from the local Fred Astaire Dance Studio, where they rehearsed their routine in 15+ dance lessons over three months.
