A COUPLE are encouraging people to put on their dancing shoes for a Strictly Summer Spectacular.

Barrie and Pat Elener are holding the dance at the Milton Rooms in Malton to raise funds for the venue.

“It’s going to be a Strictly Summer Spectacular, on the Glorious Twelve - Saturday, August 12,” Barrie said.

“Malton has a food market that day and Alfresco street food dining on the Sunday, so folk could have a great day or two in Malton, with fab food and a great night out at the Milton Rooms on Saturday evening.

“We have The Vintage Rhythms Big Band, from York, kicking the evening off, with their great Band Music from the 1920s to 1950s.

“They are a 14-piece band of local players, who play regularly together and DJ ‘Baz’ will be playing dance music, in between the sets and at the end of the evening.”

Barrie added that there would also be special guest dancers.

“The icing on the cake for all lovers of Strictly, top amateur Competition Ballroom Dancers, Trish and Adam Cawood, from Leeds, will be our ‘special guests’.

“Trish and Adam are fantastic ballroom dancers who compete at the top level of amateur ballroom competitions, throughout the country, including the British Nationals.

“Trish and Adam will be dancing three sets, during the evening including modern ballroom, Latin and jive. “This will be a great night of music and dance for anyone who loves ballroom dancing, whether they dance or not, to just enjoy the entertainment of a Big Band and sit back and enjoy as Trish and Adam glide across the dance floor, during the evening.”
