Story

This Christmas, were inviting dance schools, individuals and families across the country to put on their dancing shoes and spread a bit of joy with the Roy Castle Christmas Tapathon.

Once youve signed up, youll be sent a cracking video tutorial from one of Santa's helpers to learn the dance routine in your own time. It doesnt matter if youre a seasoned dancer or if youve got two left feet, anyone can take part!

Then, on Sunday 13th December we want to get the UK dancing with people up and down the country performing the routine at the same time - from the comfort of their own home. We know from the success and feedback from our last Tapathon how much joy it brought to people to learn the routine and be part of something so special and we want to use this Tapathon to spread some Christmas cheer.

Not only will this be something fun everyone can take part in during lockdown, but everyone who signs up gets an exclusive festive Tapathon medal, and best of all it helps fund lung cancer support to those who need much needed help and support.

Cant make it on the day? If you cant make 11am but would still like to participate, you can watch the video from the day and do it at a later date.

We had lots of fun at our last tapathon and raised over £50,000 for the charity!
