Deaf Woman Wins Dance Contest

Judy Hodak took home top honors at the Buckeye Ball with the help of her dance instructor, Travis Manero. The contest took place in Independence, Ohio (near Cleveland). The pair performed a rumba-style dance without music to accompany them because they wanted to give spectators a sense of how the 58-year-old Hodak lives. Manero owns part of the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Boardman. Below is a video report from WFMJ-TV. You can read the story here.
