Story

If you are in any way a SCD fan you can't help but know the TV line up is currently being announced - and so here is me, announcing that I will be taking part in the glittering Ipswich version - this will consist of a 10 week practice term, culminating in a fun-packed evening finale on the 10th October at Inspire Suffolk's HQ, in Lindbergh Road, Ipswich.

Those of you that know me will know that I'm fairly fit and sporty - but I'm no Darcey Bussell (unless you count dancing on a kebab-shop counter once in the 1980's and heading to the First Floor Club, and later on, Pals - as good practice!) but I've always loved watching SCD on the telly and every year have thought.... "I'd like to give that a go".... well, now with the help of my fabulous dance partner - Kevin - I hope to make that a reality, while raising money for young people and adults in our region to better themselves through the power (and fun!) of sport.

I have 2 dances to learn - and then I have to dance those two dances in front of the audience at Inspire on the night. Those two dances are a Samba and a Viennese Waltz, both chosen by Kevin who hopes they are suitable for my fitness (both mentally and physically)! 

Tickets will be available if anyone wants to come along on the night, as I'd love you to support me in person, and of course, if you can make any kind of donation, it would be massively appreciated - I need to raise at least £300 and I've been very optimistic and set my target at £500.

So.....thanks ever so for taking a look at my page.... please message me if you have any questions and I will update you weekly!
