A severe winter storm in metro Atlanta has taken the step out of a major dance and charity event scheduled this weekend at the Georgia International Convention Center.

The 7th Annual Heritage Ball, sponsored by Good Deeds International, has been postponed because many participants had trouble traveling to the city.

A spokeswoman said the event will be rescheduled.

The Heritage Ball is one of the largest steppin’ events in the nation.
