This March, Marie Curie Cancer Care is calling on dance groups to hold a sponsored salsa, ballroom or line dance to help fund nursing care for terminally ill people at the end of their lives.
Top dancers have choreographed the three separate routines for this year’s Daffodil Dance – Maggie Gallagher has created the line dancing steps, Ansell Chezan has designed the salsa routine, and Jason Parkinson has written the ballroom steps.
Anton Du Beke, from the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, is encouraging everyone to get their dancing shoes on. He said: “Why not hit the dance floor this spring and do the Daffodil Dance for Marie Curie Cancer Care?
“With salsa, ballroom and line dancing to choose from, there is something for everyone. And while you’re having fun, you will be raising funds to help Marie Curie Nurses care for terminally ill people in their own homes, completely free to the patient and their family.”
Dancing groups can join in with the Daffodil Dance any time during March 2010, as part of Marie Curie Cancer Care’s annual Great Daffodil Appeal which takes place during that month. When each group registers to take part, they will receive the steps for their chosen dance style, a free fundraising pack including hints and tips on how to make their event a success, and daffodil pin badges.
