Strictly Knot Dancing | Livestreamed from Kings Hall | Fri 6 Nov
Stoke-on-Trent charity dance event, Strictly Knot Dancing, will be livestreamed for the first time as organisers hope to beat last year's £145,000 fundraising total.
Strictly Knot Dancing will return to The King's Hall, Stoke-on-Trent on Friday (6 November), with supporters now offered the opportunity to watch from the comfort of their own home.
Organised by Knot Events CIC with support from The Sanctuary Dance School, the event brings the community together to raise funds for local hospice, Dougie Mac.
Josie Morris, CEO of Woolcool, host and organiser of Strictly Knot Dancing, said: "We're hoping to smash last year's £145,000 total. Opening up the show through livestreaming gives even more people the chance to support the event.
