DANCERS of all styles will be putting their best feet forward to raise money for a community project in Langport next weekend.

On Saturday, September 6, Scooby’s Street School Somerset is hosting Dance for the Duchess — a day of fun, fitness and fundraising at the Langport Arms ballroom.

The event will raise money for community riverboat, The Duchess of Cocklemoor, through a lively programme of dance classes for all ages.

From Zumba and Dance Fit in the morning, to Scooby’s ever-popular Street Dance sessions in the afternoon, organisers promise something for everyone — from toddlers to teens, and adults right up to 80.

The day will finish with a social gathering at 4pm.

The full running order for the Dance for the Duchess event is:
10am – Zumba
11am – Dance Fit
12pm – Street Dance (ages 3–7)
1pm – Street Dance (ages 7–11)

Tickets, available from the One Stop shop in Langport, cost £5 for adults and £3 for under-16s, free for those who want to come along and cheer without dancing.

“This is about bringing the whole community together — from our youngest movers to our most seasoned groovers — while raising vital support for The Duchess of Cocklemoor,” said Scooby from Scooby’s Street School Somerset.

“We can’t wait to see Langport dancing for a cause that’s close to all our hearts.”

The Duchess of Cocklemoor was left partially sunk after being targeted by vandals in July, with the community rallying to raise funds for her repair and return to action.
