Members at Kirkham-based Elisabeth Marsden Centre for Dance and Fitness held a four-hour danceathon and raised more than £850 for Diabetes UK.
Teacher Elisabeth Marsden said: “It was a fantastic event and it was a pleasure to raise money for Diabetes UK, as we have dancers with diabetes and my family has had personal experience of the devastating effects of the condition.”

“I have fun and keep fit all at the same time.
