THESE youngsters are just a handful of those who are doing a marathon dance session tomorrow to raise money for charity.

Starting at 9am in the Ebbw Vale Institute, more than 50 youngsters from the town's Street Dance School will take part in a 12-hour danceathon to raise money for Soldiers League.

Owner of the dance school, Serena Kenney, said the idea came from an old friend, Garry Windle, who serves in the British Army.

He told her about the charity , which divides proceeds between Help for Heroes, the Royal British Legion, Combat Streets and Blesma, which helps ex-service personnel who have lost limbs.

As well as the danceathon, people can attend breakdancing and street dancing workshops for a small contribution to the charity.

Miss Kenney said: "Everyone is really looking forward to it, there's been an overwhelming response since I first mentioned it."
