MEET THE DANCERS
One of the most exciting parts about this event, is that all of the featured dancers are our community members! On that stage, supporting our cause, you will see your neighbors, friends, local business owners, and proud supporters of CES. 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.

A Lander native, Haylee now works at the Department of Education for Vision Outreach right in her hometown Lander.
In her free time, she juggles coaching youth soccer with her love for bowling, and is always kept on her toes chasing down her 5 year old son. Her on the go personality is surely preparing her dancing feet for the performance of a lifetime!
Daniel Barnes
Daniel is branch manager at the Fort Washakie Central Bank & Trust. Together with Haylee at Lander Valley High School, he started Future Business Leaders of America. Daniel and his wife Katrina now have 3 children, love bowling, camping, and spending time with their extended family.

Crystal Hastings
Along with being the medical social worker at the Wind River Dialysis Center, Crystal is a Zumba instructor at Lander Bodyworks. The youngest of 6 children, she’s used to coming up from behind, so may well lead Courtney into 1st place! Chocolate, listening to people’s stories, and surprises are 3 of her favorite things.

Courtney Widhalm
Courtney has been an elementary art teacher in Lander for ten years. When she isn’t giving 5 year olds glue and scissors (and praying nothing bad will happen), she is home with her two young boys and her man-child husband, or at the gym teaching Zumba. Courtney jumped at the chance to to put on a show that benefits CES and Fremont County!

Charene Herrera
Charene the Adventure Queen is usually traveling or outdoors, mainly fly fishing. She was born in Wyoming but lived most of her life in Montana. She loves being involved in community events so jumped at the chance to try the dance floor. Since she’s working for the County 10 radio stations, let’s hope she isn’t bribing fellow DJ, judge Vince Tropea!
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!
Hunter Bradshaw & Maycee Manzanares

Maycee Manzanares
Born and raised in Riverton, Maycee spent 10 years on the dance floor. She went from balancing on her toes to juggling marketing at Teton Therapy for the past 4 years. Besides spending as much time as possible outdoors, she loves helping people and raising funds for CES fits perfectly.
Hunter Bradshaw
Hunter works as a therapy tech at Teton Therapy while dedicating time to get his docotrate in Physical Therapy. As he and Maycee say, “We get down to help people get up!” Hopefully the time Hunter spends fishing, skiing, archery, and hunting keeps him in good enough shape to keep up with Maycee’s dance moves.

Hayley Heidt

Austin Penny
Austin Penny is 19 years old and from Saratoga Springs, NY. He is in his Sophomore year at Wyoming Catholic College. A fun fact about Austin is that he has 12 siblings spanning ages 20-1! His interests are rowing, shooting, dancing, and reading. He has been dancing for over a decade on and off but in the last year he started a swing dance club at WCC that focuses primarily on dips, tricks and aerials. We can’t wait to see what moves he has in store!
Hayley Heidt
Hayley is originally from Atlanta, GA, but is currently a student at Wyoming Catholic College. Over the past couple of years, she has continued to fall in love with swing, two-step, and waltz at the dances run by WCC. On top of her new found love for dance, Hayley also loves everything to do with the outdoors, especially backpacking and climbing. She is also an avid reader and is particularly enjoying all of the books her curriculum requires. It always brightens her day to see CES next door and know that they are helping a lot of people and is really looking forward to her first ever Dancing with the Stars performance that supports such a great non-profit!

She was born and raised in Riverton and returned home in 2024 to take over the studio from her prior mentor and has taken the opportunity to grow that for the past 19 years.
