A Charity Tea Dance

A Charity Tea Dance is coming to the Swansea Dockers Club on Sunday 15 November, from 14:00 to 18:00. It's being put on by a group of Swansea members from Ceroc South Wales, and the afternoon is a fundraiser for Sophie, a 22-year-old who was given the all-clear from cancer earlier this year, only to be told in July that it had returned as stage 4 bowel cancer. The money raised is intended to fund treatment that isn't available through the NHS.

One thing to keep in mind is that this isn't a Ceroc dance night. The session opens with a charity Lucky Dip that randomly pairs people to dance a song together, so you'll likely end up on the floor with someone you've never met. Beyond that, it's a tea dance in the traditional sense: an afternoon of dancing and socialising. You're encouraged to bring along a cake or a savoury to share, and there will be charity donation boxes available at the club's classes and events as well.

It's a straightforward, community-led afternoon for a very specific cause. If you're around on the Sunday and fancy a dance, the details are simple: Swansea Dockers Club, 17 Pinkney Street, SA1 8BR, from 14:00 to 18:00, with £5 per person for the charity Lucky Dip.
