Story

Yes, we're doing our own version of Strictly Come Dancing as a big fundraiser event for our YUSU RAG beneficiary, IDAS! The show will feature all 5 Sabbs, Dance Society, Latin & Ballroom Society, and Swing Dance Society. The event is also being supported by TechSoc, YSTV, hosts from ComedySoc, and a range of esteemed guest judges.

The format of Sabbs Come Dancing sees two competitions (using this word quite lightly) happening simultaneously - one between the Sabb Officers, who are each working with an expert dance partner/choreographer, and then another involving the 3 dance groups trying out each other's styles!

IDAS are YUSU RAGs beneficiary for this academic year, they are the independent domestic abuse service who work in and around York and North Yorkshire to provide essential services to victims of sexual and domestic abuse. They provide safe spaces, advice and counselling in a confidential and safe environment.

Audience members will be able to vote via separate fundraising pages for each contestant, using a system of £1 per vote, though there is no limit to the amount that can be cast. All of the donations go to the same place (IDAS) and the winners will be decided by combining the numbers of votes (or funds raised) with the judges' scores.

Everyone is busy rehearsing now and we can't wait to participate in a very entertaining evening on Thursday 2nd March, all in the name of charity - We hope to see you there!!
