On Saturday 8th November, Birmingham will light up with glitz, rhythm, and a whole lot of heart as Strictly Goes Dirty Dancing takes centre stage. Among the brave participants stepping onto the dancefloor is Tayla Hearst who works on Westside. Tayla will be swapping everyday shoes for dancing heels – all in support of Shelter UK, the charity fighting homelessness and housing injustice across the UK.
Tayla will be partnered with a professional dancer and will learn a dazzling routine inspired by the iconic film Dirty Dancing, before competing live in front of an audience. But for Tayla, this isn’t just about learning the steps – it’s about making a real difference.
Tayla said:
“To see people out there with no stable home or housing whilst I am able to have a place to rest my head breaks my heart.
Every penny that is donated goes straight towards creating stable homes for those less fortunate and providing the services to get people the help they need.”
By taking part in this exciting event, Tayla is raising vital funds to help Shelter UK continue its work providing support, advice, and advocacy for those facing homelessness.
