Wally Waldhart

Willing to take on a dance that's challenging and fast-paced, Wally promises to push the envelope on the Gala dance floor. Born in Stetsonville, Wisconsin as one of 10 children, Wally has lived in Sheboygan for more than 30 years.

It is here where he met his wife of 23 years, Tracy, and where they have raised Carl, Dean and Reed.

A graduate of UW-Eau Claire, he has always enjoyed the arts. Wally is vice president of sales and communications at ACUITY and has received the Insurance Industry Representative of the Year Award for Wisconsin. He has served as president of the Aurora Health Foundation (where he received the Distinguished Service Award) and as director of the Sheboygan Theatre Company.

He is currently a member of the ACUITY Charitable Foundation and serves on Theatre for Young Audience's board. Wally has played numerous roles in local theatrical productions including Theater for Young Audience's "Wizard of Oz" and title roles in Sheboygan Theatre Company's "The Foreigner" and "The Nerd."

Wally is sponsored by ACUITY and has chosen Theatre for Young Audiences to recieve 50% of the proceeds raised through the purchase of extra votes on his behalf.

He will be performing the jive with his dance partner, Una Lisa Chichacki.
