Lefebvre, owner of Main Street Dental Care, shined in a gold jacket for his upbeat presentation at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center.

Gonzales' chief engineer Jackie Baumann won second place and raised $7,440 with her samba/freestyle number.

Jackie Tisdell, public information officer for Ascension Parish schools, won third place, raised $6,650 and took the Fan's Choice award for her high energy jazz/funk number.
