All proceeds raised from the offers will be donated to a local charity focused on breast cancer awareness.

She takes lessons three days a week with longtime instructor Vance Mabry.<\/p><p>Two years ago, Lana temporarily hung up her dancing shoes while recovering from a winter fall and head injury which caused memory loss. She was concerned her dancing days were over.<\/p><p>\u201cIf it weren\u2019t for him, I wouldn\u2019t be dancing or anything else,\u201d she said. \u201cHe just worked with me and worked with me and worked with me\u2026\u201d<\/p><p>These days, Lana occasionally searches for words, but when the music starts, she doesn\u2019t forget a move.
