FERNDALE - Whatcom County residents who want to see their local pastor or police officer bust a move will have a chance at the Dance Bellingham Dance competition Saturday, Nov. 10.

- Roosevelt Community Church Pastor Kurt Ingram and his wife, Carol.

- Whatcom County Realtor Chet Kenoyer and his daughter, Gina.

- Bellingham Police Officer Jon Knutsen and his wife, Megan, who works at Dermatology & Laser Center Northwest.

- General surgeon Keith VanderGriend and his wife, Cindy, who teaches preschool.

The couples trained for two months with help from Bellingham's Dancing for Joy studio.?
