Star: Stephanie Malone
Stephanie is no stranger to the theatre. She has served as the Resident Theater Technician for the Medford School District since 2012. She loves having the opportunity to work with enthusiastic and aspiring students who share her passion for theatre. She also loves serving the community by helping community members’ events come to life. Some of her favorite events include: Pear Blossom Pageants, School Musicals, Dance Recitals, and of course DWTRVS.
Stephanie has always wanted to participate in DWTRVS since she began designing for it in 2012 but has been unable to due to her debilitating Crohn's disease. However, in the summer of 2022, she won her battle with this illness, putting it into remission and finding herself with a new lease on life. She would not be here today without her team of healthcare professionals helping her body recover, including: Ben Turner, Miranda Black, and Jessica Anders. This is one reason she loves Sparrow Clubs; they provide love, encouragement, and support for families going through their darkest days.
Stephanie would also like to thank her dance partner, Collin, for constantly supporting and encouraging her through this journey. She would also like to thank her friends and family for their unwavering love and support through her journey of recovery.
When Stephanie is not in the theatre, she loves playing online games with her sister in Maine, watching Stranger Things, playing with her cat, Frodo, going to Oregon Ducks games with her friends, and spending time with her favorite people.
Partner: Collin Goldman
Collin was born up in Evans, a small community along the Columbia River in northwestern Washington. He is the second oldest of nine children, five boys and four girls, all of whom were/are home schooled. His family moved down to the Rogue Valley when he was about two years old and has lived here since.
Collin first got involved in ballroom dancing in 2012 when some of his friends asked him to fill in for a guy for a performance they were doing. It took a little persuasion, but eventually he joined and hasn't regretted it since then!
Collin is excited to be part of this year’s Dancing with the Rogue Valley Stars. He and Stephanie have worked hard and pray you enjoy the show! God Bless!
