Got to Dance stars pledge to donate £100,000 to the Red Cross

I’m no expert on dance shows – I’ve never seen Strictly Come Dancing or Britain’s Got Talent – but right now I’m pretty sure that Bolly-flex of Got to Dance have to be the best.

I’m completely biased and won’t hide what motivated this newfound fandom: they’ve pledged to give £100,000 of the prize money to the Red Cross if they win!

The group are through to the semi-finals on Sunday and if they win the public vote, they’ll take on ten acts in the final the following week. The grand prize is £250,000 and if they get it they plan to donate £100,000 to the British Red Cross and use the other £150,000 to put on a Bollywood-spectacular show in Tower Hamlets.

Inspired by their philanthropy, I thought I’d best find them on YouTube and have spent the past half hour engrossed in a display of dance moves so fast-paced and fun, it can’t help but make you smile.

I’m planning to vote for them on Sunday – for their dancing and for their potential contribution to the Red Cross. I know it costs to call so I won’t urge you to do the same, but I would recommend checking them out on YouTube.

And a big good luck to Bolly-flex from us!

Watch the show on Sky One this Sunday at 6pm.

    Dancing is a way of exercise and it also enhances talents. I am dance instructor, and I’m very aware of the movements and steps of my trainees. I often use my car to go to my office during the time when I am going to teach a dance. Mostly are dancing to show their talents and capabilities. Dancing is a form of art.
