Nantwich men are being urged to don their dancing shoes and help raise vital funds for
St Luke’s (Cheshire) Hospice.
An urgent appeal has gone out to recruit more men for the hospice’s popular “Strictly Learn to Dance” fundraiser.
And budding Ben Cohens could be crowned Strictly champ when the event culminates in a grand final at Nantwich Civic Hall.
Training for the competition is set to start for participants, although places are limited so organisers are urging men to sign up soon.
Once men have signed up, they just need to attend free dancing lessons with Mark and Holly from Crewe-based Dancebasics school and obtain sponsorship
Those without a partner will be paired with another participant, or couples are also invited to take part.
Weekly 45-minute Rock n Roll and Waltz tuition will be held every Wednesday evening at Dancebasics.
An extravagant Grand Finale show is planned for Nantwich Civic Hall on Sunday May 18.
A panel of judges will observe the couples as they dance, and crown the winning couple the ‘dancing king and queen’.
Nicola Jepson, senior fundraising events co-ordinator, said: “St Luke’s (Cheshire) Hospice’s Strictly Learn to dance has been a huge success in past years, raising over £40,000 for the hospice and we hope this year will be bigger and better than ever before.”
Participants will be asked to register and commit to raise a minimum sponsorship of £600 per couple.
Tickets for the Grand Finale will be on sale from late April to raise money for the St Luke’s Hospice, which cares for sufferers of cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
