Yes, the Lindy Hopathon is back for the third year!  We are holding another twelve-hour sponsored dance marathon in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust on Saturday 7th Feb 2009 at the Centre at St Paul's Cambridge.  Sponsored dancing will take plase between midday and midnight, with social dancing  alongside from 7pm.  This year we will be having live music from some of the best Jazz musicians in Cambridge as well as a fantastic selection of swing DJ's.  Sponsored dancers get in free to the whole event, tickets for social dancing are £10/£8 members and concessions.   There will also be the now legendary Blues After Party so you can keep on dancing into the night!  We will be having live music from THREE local Jazz bands from 7pm so grab your dancing shoes for a fantastic day of dancing!

If you'd like to take part as as a sponsored dancer just email me on ros@cambridgelindy.com for a sponsorship form and more info.  Last year was great fun and we raised just over £6000 and so we are hoping this year will be even better and we'll raise even more money!
