We just received this email this morning... here's a copy below... if you are a dancer in Sydney, or can get to Sydney, think about joining in.
The Australian Dance Festival has some exciting news! We are making a World Record Attempt in order to raise funds for Father Chris Riley's Youth Off The Streets!! As Jason Coleman is the Patron of the Australian Dance Festival, and also choreographer for the upcoming "Hairspray, The Musical", it's only fitting that the world record should be "The World's Largest Number of Dancers Doing a Hairspray Choreography", led by Jason Coleman himself!Not only will you be learning and performing a dance number choreographed by Jason Coleman, but you will also be helping us raise funds for Youth Off The Streets. Every dancer and school will register and donate $1 each in order to help those in our charity.
Not to mention each school that registers will get one free day pass to the event worth $130 !!!
When: Saturday Morning the 4th of September, 7.30am – 8.30am
