Anderson Place Hosts Party to Cheer on Evan Kasprzak in the Top 12

The competition is heating up to find out who will be the next winner of FOX’s hit television show “So You Think You Can Dance,” but some local residents have already chosen their favorite contestant. The residents and employees at Anderson Place Senior Living Community are rallying to support one resident’s grandson, Evan Kasprzak, as he continues to compete on the fifth season of “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Anderson Place resident, Jenny Kasprzak’s grandson, Evan Kasprzak, made it to the top 14 contestants on the show last week, as a large group of Anderson Place residents and staff sporting “Vote Evan” t-shirts gathered to cheer him on. This week, the growing group of seniors will gather again on July 1st to cheer for Evan. Jenny, who has been an avid dancer for more than twenty years and member of the Senior Follies dance troupe, claims to be Evan’s number one fan.

“You can really feel the energy and excitement in our community,” said Jami Sexton, Community Relations Director at Anderson Place. “Families are printing t-shirts, baking cakes and hanging banners to support Evan. It has been a great way for our residents to stay connected to society, foster friendships and participate in pop culture.”

Anderson Place is hosting its third community viewing party of “So You Think You Can Dance” at 311 Simpson Road in Anderson on Wednesday, July 1 at 6:45 p.m. Members of the media are invited to join residents and employees for a game of Dance Bingo and refreshments as they watch Evan Kasprzak get closer to becoming America’s newest “So You Think You Can Dance” winner.
