Bianca Panetta Academy of Dance encourages dancing for sick kids with Nutbush and Macarena this week

The Bianca Panetta Academy of Dance is calling on people from Harvey to “rock up and be ready to dance” for a reason this week.

The dance for sick kids is part of a week-long nationwide fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House, but this is the first time it has been brought to Harvey.

Dance academy owner and event coordinator Bianca Meese said she would be hosting a community dance day this Thursday featuring the Nutbush and Macarena dances to help raise funds while having fun.

“I’ve been wanting to do it for a few years , but I just haven’t gotten around to it,” she said.

“You log your hours the week you dance and the main thing is to get people to sponsor or donate because all the money goes towards the Ronald McDonald House.

“We’ve opened up a couple of classes to the public so they can come in and have a dance and donate.”

Ms Meese said she wanted to take part after learning more about the importance of the charity for people in the regions.

“I’ve just spoken to so many people who have used the Ronald McDonald House, and just how important it is for those families to have that, especially when you live in the country,” she said.

“I just think it’s definitely a cause that needs to be supported.

“The money goes towards the house for those families who do need to stay there with their kids, and that can be for a long time as well.”

The chosen dance classes encourage every community member to get involved, no matter their skill level, and the academy’s usual classes will continue.

“All of our classes we will still be dancing and we’re doing crazy socks and pyjama day with our students so they can come along and be a part of it with their classes,” Ms Meese said.

“The open classes anybody can join, there’s no experience needed.”

Harvey community members can attend a hip hop class at 6pm Wednesday or 6.30pm Friday.

Alternatively, the dance students have invited community members for the Macarena and Nutbush dances, with emergency service workers and business owners at 5.30pm and 6pm Thursday.
