PHYLLIS Tuckwell Hospice is once again holding its ever popular Strictly Dancing event this spring, at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, on Friday, May 27.

BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing stars Kevin and Karen Clifton will lead the entertainment this year, with a four-dance demonstration.

The pair are auctioning off a dance each on the night – so if anyone fancies a tango with Kevin or a jive with Karen, this is the perfect opportunity. They will also set a little time set aside for photos and autographs after the show.

The audience will also be treated to dance routines from the University of Surrey’s Ballroom and Latin American Dance Club, as well as a debut performance from 10 new dancing couples who will be taking part in Phyllis Tuckwell’s Strictly Learn to Dance classes.

These couples will soon start training hard to learn their steps, while also raising sponsorship money. all of which will go towards funding the hospice care which Phyllis Tuckwell provides to all of its patients and their families.

The couples will be taking to the floor for their debut dancing display on the night, after having had just 10 weeks’ of one-hour dance lessons from the teachers at Angela’s School of Dancing.

There are still some places left in the Strictly Learn to Dance classes, to sign up call 01252 729446 or email [email protected]. Tickets are on sale now for £25. They can be purchased online at www.pth.org.uk or by calling Phyllis Tuckwell’s Fundraising team on 01252 729446.

Snack food will be available to purchase from 7pm to 10pm and the bar will be open until midnight.

Phyllis Tuckwell would like to thank Lakeside owner Mr Bob Potter OBE for once again kindly donating the use of his renowned venue, and Paul Fitchett Images for taking photos on the night.
