Dance for cancer this May A DAY of dance at the White Rock Theatre will raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. A May Ball is being held on Saturday, May 12, while during the day members of the public can take part in taster lessons in Argentine Tango, Salsa, LeRoc Jive, Lindy Hop and Cha Cha Cha. These sessions start at 10.15am and run until 3pm with all five classes available for £10, or £3 per individual lesson. James Shepherd, who is organising the event, said: "This should be a fantastic day and will definitely be a lot of fun. "We have specialist dance instructors taking the sessions and £10 for five classes is excellent value for money. "It is also helping out a fantastic charity so I would urge as many people as possible to come down and take part." The May Ball, at 8pm, promises to be a night not to be missed. There will be DJs, a shoe stall, big raffle and chocolate fountain. Tickets to this part of the day are priced at £10 or £12 and are selling fast.
