Well done dancers!

Dance the Distance at the McMillan Hall

Huge congratulations to Emma, Kirsten, Hilary, Lesley & Joan who danced their way to 5km on behalf of Emma Louise Dance Club to raise funds for The Vault Arts Centre. The total currently stands at £428.30, which is a fantastic effort.

Dance the Distance® is a great-big-group-exercise event that takes participants on an incredible journey, experiencing different dance styles and enjoying a wide variety of music, that's the equivalent of doing a 5km run.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to Emma Louise Abel for organising the day - which we know is never easy - and putting so much hard work into putting on such a great event.
