While the kids were on the dance floor, Tao Group’s Corporate Executive Sous Chef Marc Marrone and Paul Rosenberg of the Real Results Fitness taught parents to create fast, affordable and healthy meals at home from.
BMX Pro Ricardo Laguna, boxer Lonnie Love, featured performers Visual Audio, The Prodigy Dance Crew, Sean and John, Hypontix/WHK/TPB and The Rock Center for Dance were there to cheer on the kids.
