Lesley Elwell, Senior Vice President and Chief People Officer at Evergy, participated in the 2025 Dancing with the Kansas City Star event on May 20. In her remarks, she described herself as a mother, daughter, wife, HR professional, business leader, and a Venezuelan-born American. She stated that ballroom dancing differs from Caribbean salsa and that dancing makes her feel happy and free, citing Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, and her dance partner Raphael as inspirations. Elwell said that performing before an audience was overwhelming and uncomfortable, but she hoped to help meet the event's fundraising goals for children and to win competitively. Her partner, Raphael, described her as "spunky," and judges praised her hip action, energy, and wardrobe, with one judge joking about canceling his Evergy bill during her performance.
