Dig out your dancing shoes for a stomping good cause

Article Abstract:

The Day of Dance event, which is held twice a year in Saltaire, Yorkshire, has raised a great deal of money for Oxfam and other charities. Volunteers provide food, and dance teachers give their time for nothing. Many local people attend the workshops, which cover a wide range of dance styles, including French jive, rock'n'roll, Israeli folk dance and circle dancing. Each workshop costs 3.50 pounds sterling in advance, or 4 pounds sterling on the day.
