Odhran and Sarah are dancing the Charleston.
I’m doing the event because I’ve always liked dancing but never learnt formally and this is a great opportunity to give it a try while supporting a great organisation at the same time.”
SarahI heard about the Ozanam Come Dancing through a colleague at LCP, who has been involved in the past with other fundraising events for the charity.
I’ve always enjoyed making a fool of myself on the dance floor and thought that it would be a good idea to raise some money this time.
Ozanam House do great work for the community and I know the money raised will help to bring enjoyment to a lot of people.

How are you getting on with rehearsals?
Any surprises?
Rehearsals have been going really well. We did have a couple of falls one evening but thankfully that’s been it (hopefully!).
What was your first experience and impression of the song and dance?
I couldn’t stop smiling when I heard we were going to be doing the Charleston to ‘All That Jazz’, it is such a high energy dance and song that we couldn’t not have fun learning it!
What three words best describe your dance?
Fast, flying and fun!
How were the first few dance practices?
The first few dance practices were quite low key compared to now, it has definitely got more intense in the last few weeks!
Did you ever think you would find yourself doing something like this?
I’ve started watching Strictly in the last couple of years and that had definitely piqued my interest in doing something like this. I never imagined I’d get an opportunity take part in such a big production as Ozanam House manage to put on (a stage in-front of 400 people!!) so I’m really enjoying it.
