The featured highlight was <em>the first-ever <\/em>Palm Beach County\u201cCOMMUNITY DANCE for JUSTICE\u201d created and led by Dance with Me (DWM) Dance Studio professionals and performed by a group of more than 40+ civic, legal, corporate, nonprofit and community leaders who have \u201cstepped up to dance up\u201d to raise funds to support the LASPBC\u2019s services for victims of domestic and elder abuse. The hundreds of event-goers of all ages also had the opportunity to create a \u201cHands Up in Justice for All\u201d themed mural and received free admission to the Boca Raton Museum of Art at the close of the Bresky Bash.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting sponsor: Bresky Law hosted the community event; emcee was South Florida attorney Mark Eiglarsh, the nationally sought-after broadcast legal analyst who has been featured on shows such as The View, Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew to provide insight on the latest and often,the most compelling legal issues.In addition to music by DJ Nikko Capria of Nikko Entertainment, food trucks, balloon artists, face painters, children\u2019s activities and crafts and jewelry shopping, there were 40+ legislators and government officials, presidents from several Florida bar associations, attorneys, companies and nonprofit advocates on stage to perform as \u201cCommunity Justice Dancers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to BL firm founder and LASPBC board member Robin Bresky, the original dance routine was created and taught by the professionals at DWM Dance Studio at Town Center of Boca Raton that was founded by ABC Television\u2019s \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d professionals Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Valentin Chmerkovskiy. Palm Beach County\u2019s own roster of celebrated Community Justice Dancers learned and performed the warm-up dance for Bresky Bash event-goers and then together with DWM professionals will lead an original dance routine: \u201cCOMMUNITY DANCE for JUSTICE\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was not a competition in any way, but rather an opportunity for leaders and advocates to \u2018take a lead part\u2019 in an inspiring high-energy and engaging community-unifying event to support the Legal Aid Society,\u201d shared Robin Bresky who founded her law firm in 2000, and currently serves as member, Board of Governors, Florida Bar; is the immediate past president of the National Conference of Women\u2019s Bar Associations (NCWBA), past president of South Palm Beach County Bar Association (SPBCBA) and past president of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers (FAWL). \u201cIn Palm Beach County \u2014 where we live, work, play and learn \u2014 we know that domestic and elder abuse continues to rise (much in silence) and as colleagues in the legal and civic community we can make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Bresky reported that the Bresky Bash had a tri-fold mission\u201d to 1) raise awareness of the LASPBC, 2) increase education on the meaningful work of the LAS and 3) raise funds to help expand services to those who need it the most.<\/p>\n<p>Those Who \u201cStepped Up in Justice for All\u201d included**:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Civic Leaders:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n \t<lem>Florida State Senator Lori Berman<\/lem><br \/>\n \t<lem>Palm Beach County Commissioner Robert Weinroth, Esq.<\/lem><br \/>\n \t<lem>Mayor, City of Boca Raton, Scott Singer, Esq.<\/lem><br \/>\n \t<lem>Council Member, City of Boca Raton, Andrew Thomson, Esq.<\/lem><br \/>\n \t<lem>Mayor, City of Boynton Beach, Steve Grant<\/lem><br \/>\n \t<lem>Mayor, City of Palm Beach Gardens, Maria Marino<\/lem><br \/>\n \t<lem>Mayor, City of West Palm Beach, Jeri Muoio<\/lem><br \/>\n \t<lem>Vice Mayor, City of Palm Beach, Gardens Carl Woods<\/lem><br \/>\n \t<lem>Former Florida State Senator Maria Sachs, Esq.<\/lem>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Legal Leaders:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Florida Bar:<\/strong>President Michelle R.
