The dance stars of Wyndham are putting on their best dancing shoes to raise money for two local charities.

This is the fourth year running of the Werribee Mazda Dance Stars on the Floor show, with eight selected local stars gearing up to perform at the Wyndham Cultural Centre on Friday, May 19.

Heather Marcus is coordinating the show again this year and said that it has been a big hit among Wyndham residents.

“This year we want to work harder to bring an even better show for the community in Wyndham to enjoy,” she said.

“We have chosen our stars very carefully this year to make it very inclusive.

“We wanted to make sure that nobody felt left out.”

The dance stars are on a quest to raise funds for the Wyndham Health Foundation and Story Dogs.

There are two coveted trophies on offer, one for the best dance star chosen by the judges and the other for the dance star who raises the most money.

“There are eight stars this year who come from all different walks of life, and they’re all coming together for a great cause,” said Ms Marcus.

The stars are teamed up with professional dancers with six weeks of lessons to showcase two choreographed dances.
