Song and Dance for Marie Curie

Date of Event: 23/06/2007 - 24/06/2007

Almondvale Shopping Centre tuned up for a rocking weekend of song and dance on Saturday 23^rd and Sunday 24^th June to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

The stars of the show appeared at two areas inside the mall and at a specially erected dance marquee kitted out with lights and a chequered dance floor. These included an Elvis impersonator to get the crowds all shook up and a dance competition with participants between 3-18 years old from West Lothian dance school, Danz Craze.

In addition, fans of cheerleading group the Scottish Rockettes could marvel at dance displays whilst salsa enthusiasts were able to join in the fun with a group of dancers from Cuba Norte in Edinburgh. Over 60 performers took part in the event overall with something to suit everyone from an Elvis impersonator to break dancers, Random Aspekts.

Adrian Coll from Clyde 1 also joined the event to give away £200 worth of vouchers throughout the weekend to lucky shoppers who participated in the dance events.

This event is the third in a series of monthly events organised by Almondvale Shopping Centre to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.  Donations for the charity were collected over the two days at the event where Marie Curie nurses were on hand to talk to shoppers about the work of the charity.

Almondvale Shopping Centre marketing manager, Jennifer Bruce, said:  “We were very pleased to be hold a fun-packed singing and dancing event which is the first of its kind at Almondvale Shopping Centre with some amazing performers. We received a great deal of interest from locals in Livingston and beyond.

“The variety of events planned for Almondvale throughout the year are so far proving a great success, making the mall a top leisure and shopping destination for many visitors.”
