We are so grateful for all of our participating dancers and can't wait to see what they have prepared for us. Below you will meet each team and have access to their voting link! During the event, you will be able to cast your vote for your favorite team by making a donation to CES. As always, all proceeds go to Community Entry Services.

Ian Smith
A west coast transplant, NOLS brought Ian to Lander and all the outdoor activities and exceptional people have kept him here. When he’s not backpacking or trail running, you can find him playing Dungeons and Dragons, jumping into cold water, and walking dogs. His time hanging precariously off cliffs may help him get Maureen to do some fancy tricks on the floor.
Maureen Fox
Raised in Central Colorado, Maureen grew up spending time in the mountains with her family. After moving to Lander to work for NOLS, Maureen transferred her outdoor education skills to working with young children and founded Apple Valley School where she is the director and a teacher. When not in the school, Maureen can still be found on her bike or skis or even a horse in the mountains and the plains around Lander or in her garden growing a mountain of flowers and veggies.

Crystal Hastings
This is Crystal’s 3rd year on the dance floor. Along with being the medical social worker at the Wind River Dialysis Center, Crystal is a Zumba instructor at Lander Bodyworks. Chocolate, listening to people’s stories, and surprises are 3 of her favorite things.
Matt Hartman
A musician, singer, dancer, and actor, Matt comes to the dance floor straight from the CWC stage. Matt learned how to Tango while trimming trees in Oregon. He is in this year’s CWC Carousel musical, local jazz bands, CWC's Concert Band and the Fremont Symphony Orchestra. We’ll see how he can handle this rowdy audience!

Ryan Piercini
When Ryan’s not busy as a Lander policeman, he’s trying to keep up with his 4 kids. Raised in Lander, Ryan enjoys hiking, hunting, & fishing in nearby secret places. Ryan better get some votes or he may end up throwing a few people in jail!
Joni Lee
Joni’s a true Wyoming native, as her great great grandparents came here many moons ago. She’ll finally see Lander from above since she’s now working on getting her pilot’s license. Hopefully it will let her track down her 2 teenagers when she’s not busy working as a beautician at the b.hive, her local business.

& Mindy Clancy

Deidre Meyer
Deidre’s been at FCSD 1 for 15 years in many roles ranging from English teacher to curriculum, pretty much everything but the bus driver. Since she’s a former cheerleader and mogul ski racer, do you suppose we just might be seeing some cartwheels and the splits? We better watch out for fancy moves on the floor.
Mindy Clancy
Mindy first helped our gala by donating her amazing skills as a photographer. This time she’s counting on dancing skills that she’s honed since 1st grade to brave the floor. Raised in Lander, Mindy is the director of Special Education for the Lander schools. Mandy and her husband keep up with 2 daughters along with spending time hunting, fishing, and camping.
Chris & Raine
Sponsored by First Interstate Bank
Raine Lesher
Raine is psyched to be dancing again this year! Learning new dance moves has been a passion since she was a little girl in a ballerina tutu. She is also an accomplished musician, playing flute, mandolin, and guitar for several local bands. Raine has a magic touch with gardening and is a professional landscaper as well as making sure things look spectacular at Sprout’s every Spring.
Chris Flom
Chris is also super excited to be dancing again this year! Chris spends his days working with professional fireworks and his nights playing guitar and singing with Raine in NightFire, their band that plays “High Desert Grunge Grass.” Wonder if they’ll play some new tunes while we’ve got a full house tonight!
