Dance, dance, dance ...
The second Dancing for Dreams, a benefit for Lancaster General College of Nursing & Health Sciences, will be held 5:30 p.m. to midnight Saturday, June 21, in the ballroom at the Lancaster Host Resort, 2300 Lincoln Highway East.
Sponsored by Capital BlueCross, Dancing for Dreams partners six dance professionals with community leaders. The pairs — six men and six women — have designed and rehearsed a routine that will be performed at the event.
Local professional dancers include Rebecca Gentry and Oscar Restrepo, Moonlight Ballroom, Mountville; Barbra Snyder and Kenneth Wilson, Ballroom on the Square, Manheim; and Charles Harris, Dancing With Style, Lancaster.
Professional dancers will be showcased, and there will be a preshow dinner and postshow dance party.
Last year's inaugural event sold out in a matter of days, with more than 350 dinner guests and 100 show-only guests. There were more than 150 people on a waiting list.
Tickets start at $125.
Nearly 750 students are enrolled at the college, in programs including nursing, sonography, radiography technology, clinical laboratory sciences and nuclear medicine technology.

Why take vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12, also known as cyanocobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin vital for metabolic processes of cells, according to columnist Dr. Andrew Weil.
You can obtain vitamin B12 only from animal foods, including dairy, eggs, meat, fish, poultry and shellfish, so vegetarians and vegans are often at risk for B12 deficiency. Seniors may lose the ability to absorb B12 from food and need to take supplements.
