The Shooting Stars Gala

Posted on November 26, 2012

Stardust Ball, on December 15, will be hosting the Shooting Stars Gala to raise funds for Parkinson’s UK, with a specific focus on the practical needs of younger people with Parkinson’s. The gala will feature performances by a large number of top Professional and Amateur dancers, all of whom will very generously be performing free of charge.

There will also be an auction with fabulous prizes including free lessons with several times world champions Arunas Bizokas and Katusha Demidova, Michael Malitowski and Joanna Leunis (pictured), and UK dancers Stefano Soldati and Natasha Manderson.

Doors open at 7pm to a champagne reception and social dancing will continue until 12.30am. Dress code is black tie. Admission is £30. Book now at
