Members of the University of Miami community, including the lovable mascot Sebastian the Ibis, donned dancing shoes on March 3 and took to the dance floor as part of Dancing with the UMiami Stars, a different take on the popular ABC reality series in which celebrity contestants are paired with professional dancers. UM’s version featured well-known figures from the University paired with partners and choreographers from Miami Ballroom, UM’s Latin and ballroom dance club. Right: UM Dean of Students Ricardo Hall and his partner Daisy Yang, a senior majoring in business management, demonstrate their dance steps.
