Strictly Kids Towcester 2026

Aim

To have fun, make friends, learn to dance and raise money and awareness for these amazing charities.

At Step by Step Dance School, dance has never simply been about learning steps.

We've seen how dancing can change people.

It can give someone confidence when they've lost it. It can create friendships when someone feels alone. It can give children something to believe in and adults an opportunity to rediscover themselves.

We've seen strangers walk through our doors and become friends. We've watched nervous beginners become confident dancers.

That's why we want to use what we love to give something back.

Strictly Towcester is our opportunity to bring hundreds of people together and turn one incredible day of entertainment into something that can have an impact long after the final dance has finished.

Strictly Kids came about 5 years ago when the Mayoress of Towcester wanted to support the charity that Strictly Towcester was fundraising for, as her children wanted to be involved. Together with Jayne Phillips, they have both worked with children from schools in and around Towcester, teaching them ballroom and latin dances, to perform at Strictly Towcester.

Each child in exchange for free lessons weekly for 6 weeks, raises a minimum of £25.00 this all goes to the charities. Every penny counts and it is so lovely to see children learning a new skill, making new friends and putting themselves out there in front of an audience of 300 people at each show.

🧡💜 Who Your Money Will Help

We're proudly raising funds to support MSA Trust, Local Dementia Care and SBS Dance & Arts Foundation.

These causes represent people and families who may be facing incredibly difficult circumstances, as well as children and young people who deserve opportunities to discover their own talents and dreams.

Through the SBS Dance & Arts Foundation, we want to continue opening doors for children and young people who might otherwise miss out because their family simply cannot afford opportunities in dance and the arts.

Talent shouldn't depend on how much money your family has.

Every donation helps us take another step towards giving someone an opportunity, providing support or helping a family know that they are not facing their journey alone.

🌟 We Need Our Community Behind Us

We can create the show.

Our dancers can put in the hours.

Our teachers can give their experience.

Our volunteers can give their time.

But to make the biggest possible difference, we need you.

Whether you donate £5, £10, £20 or more, you're becoming part of this journey.

And if you can't donate, sharing our fundraising page with friends, family or colleagues could introduce our campaign to the person who can.

Every share matters.
Every ticket matters.
Every donation matters.
Every person behind us matters.

✨ One Day. Two Shows. One Community.

On 24th October, we want the room to be filled with excitement, laughter, applause and emotion.

We want our Local Heroes and our Strictly Kids to look out at that audience and see a community standing behind them.

And when the final music stops, we want to be able to say:

We didn't just put on a fantastic dance show.

Together, we made a difference. ❤️

Please support Strictly Kids Towcester 2026 and help us turn every step danced into something meaningful.
