Realtor Jan Thompson does the Fox Trot with dance mentor and partner Antonio McMath during the Dare to Dance competition Saturday, Oct. 11 at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
Dare to Dance is an annual fundraising event of the Kidney Foundation of the Greater Chattanooga Area. Thompson placed second in her fundraising efforts over ten contestants. Thompson played in honor of her friend and fellow Realtor Paula Palmer, who underwent kidney replacement surgery in 2012. She donated the money she raised to the Kidney Foundation’s emergency housing fund.
Thompson operates her real estate business through Real Estate Partners. McMath is a dance instructor at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Chattanooga.
