| Staff and their families practising in the yard of our Enablement Centre |
The turn out was better than we (the planning committee) could ever have hoped for, the support from staff, friends, family, and even trustees, was simply over whelming.
 |
| Even heavily pregnant staff member Jo joined in!! |
At precisely 12pm our resident choreographer, Zumba expert and admin/receptionist guru, Sandy, kicked off proceedings as the music started to play.
Gradually all the other dancers started to join in, stripping off their coats and jumpers to reveal their bright yellow Whitechapel Centre t-shirts, until all the dancers were in full flow, taking over Williamson Square.
The gathering crowds all watched in delight, nodding to the music themselves, we even had a rousing cheer from the builders working on the square, banging their tools as a sign of appreciation and (we hope!) enjoyment.

After 3minutes and 12 seconds it was all over, the dancers dispersed
into the crowd, and all was as before, until the cameras were off and we all gathered together, buzzing with enjoyment and excitement of what we had just been a part of.

| Dancing off in amongst the City Centre shoppers! |
We handed out our cards to the watching crowds, and hope that those who witnessed our dancing would spread the word about what they had seen.
Our aim was simply to raise awareness of the increasing plight of the homeless, particularly in the Merseyside area that we provide support to.
This is possible - but only with your help, and don't despair, it isn't too late!! Click on the link below that will take you straight to our official video, watch it, and then tell your friends to do the same - easy as that!!

To all of those who were there on Saturday we cannot thank you enough. To those who danced, thank you for having the courage to pull on a bright yellow tshirt and dance randomly in the middle of the city centre!
For those who came and supported, it meant so much to see you there, it was thanks to you that we had the courage to dance in public, knowing that at least someone would clap!
