WOMAD Dance-a-thon: 1,000 hours for a £1,000! WE DID IT!!    71 people dancing 1030 hours to raise money for Wish. The original crew, friends and friends of friends, and unsuspecting Womaders recruited as they danced who gave up their hours to Wish.  WATCH THE VIDEO Headlines:  Top hours: Merle at 35, Joyce - a close second at 28 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Special mention: Tanishi & Mia can these babes dance!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Conclusion: At festivals most people seem to like to lounge around listening to music, nodding their heads, tapping their feet, letting their hips sway, but not the Wish crew (well most of them anyway!) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Next year: We promise more people, more dancing hours, more donations. Thanks everyone for their support     Original Story Everyone likes a boogie – but could you get on down for ONE THOUSAND HOURS STRAIGHT? That’s exactly what the Kallevik Crew are going to do at the WOMAD Music Festival over 3 days on the 29th – 31st July 2011. Joyce and her motley gang of guys and gals want to raise £1,000 for the women’s mental health charity Wish. Working in prisons, psychiatric hospitals and the community, Wish is a lifeline for one of society’s most vulnerable and forgotten groups of people. This is a great opportunity for YOU to make a difference to hundreds of women - and have a good laugh seeing the Dance-A-Thon video evidence at the same time!   All pledges over £50 buy you a request for specific dance moves!! So if you want to see Joyce, Merle and LIn break-dance; Tanisha and Mia break out the Beyonce bounce; Jo, Rachel, Jen, Ellie and Tess perform to some old-school rave moves; Eva, Imogen and Sarah Moshing; or Helen pirouette like Margot Fonteyn - get GIVING!   Bopping and jiving, bumping and grinding, cha-cha or Cossack, ballet or ballroom…as long as the body keeps moving, it counts as dancing! From the Dance-A-Thon Kallevik Crew : Joyce, Joanne, Helen, Merle, Jen, Tanisha, Lin, Sarah, Imogen, Ellie, Rachel, Mia, Tess, Eva and Paul, James, Ruari, Dara, Marcello, Jonah and Still recruiting!                 Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
