The money raised from Strictly will be used for the development of the Club at Juvenile and Senior level and also prize-money will be donated to a Charity chosen by the winning Dancers.

The ‘Strictly’ format has proved a huge success for Austin Stacks, St Pats and Ballymacelligott clubs over the past few years, so a huge crowd can be expected at the event.

The club are launching the event in their Ballyseedy Complex on Saturday, September 3 when the dancers will be present. Further information will be issued shortly on the sale of tickets for the event.
