When: December 4, 2011

Where: Hilton Downtown Austin (Map It)

Thank you to everyone that attended! It was a spectacular night.

The 2011 winner of Dancing with the Stars Austin is Vaughn Brock. Congratulations to Vaughn and his professional partner, Taletha Jouzdani! They danced an energetic, very athletic West Coast Swing inspired by The Blues Brothers. It was one of the highlights of the night!

Jackie Rado Mooney was our first runner up! She and her professional partner, Randy Ferguson really got the crowd jumping with their Swing rendition of How Sweet It Is. Last, but certainly not least, was our second runner up, Kumara Wilcoxon. Professional dancer, Angel Figueroa, and Kumara pulled out all the stops with a spicy combo of the Hustle, Cha Cha and Salsa!

Time Warner Cable will have all of the dancers' videos available on Central TX On Demand channel 1400 until January 31. The dancer with the most views will  be crowned the "Fan Favorite" and for each view TWC will donate $1 up to $5,000 to the Center.

Dancing with the Stars Austin presented by Lexus of Austin features Austin notables paired with professional dancers for a ballroom dance performance and a unique evening of entertainment. The 2011event will be a night of fun as a new group of community members dance-off for the coveted mirror ball trophy and raise money for the abused children of Austin. Each year, the success of this event has allowed the Center to provide more services to kids, teens and their families including pet therapy, an interactive ropes course and psychiatric services.
