Nationally acclaimed ballroom dancers Erik and Rickie will be performing during the Kent Senior Activity Center\u2019s Spring Luncheon March 19.<\/p>\n

The two were highly successful in the 2009 America\u2019s Got Talent<\/a> competition, finishing in the top 20 over the thousands of contestants during the highly rated show.<\/p>\n

Boxed lunches, courtesy of Stafford Suites, will be distributed at noon to those purchasing the $7 advance tickets for the March 19 event. Tickets will be available beginning in late February. If sold out, a wait list will be taken the day of the event beginning at 9 a.m.<\/p>\n

In April, Erik and Rickie, both age 9, will return to compete in the World Championship Ballroom Dance championships in Blackpool, England. They are two-time defending U.S. National Dance Champions (junior division ages 7-12) and took third in the world last year in Blackpool. Spring Luncheon participants will have the opportunity to help offset their extensive travel expenses.<\/p>\n
