Hosted by our partner Hogan Lovells, this fantastic fundraising event will be returning for the 8^th time to raise money for The Wildlife Trusts. Hogan Lovells are a global law firm working from both London and Birmingham; they have supported the Wildlife Trusts not just through the Legally Ballroom Event, but also by voluntarily providing legal advice. The Wildlife Trusts in turn have set up “Wild Work Days”, an initiative to inspire Hogan Lovells’ employees to engage with wildlife and habitats in our cities.

Legally Ballroom will be held on Monday 21^st November when the dancing volunteers will take to the stage. The couples will have had ten weeks to learn how to ballroom dance and have all been attending professional lessons to teach them the moves! In true ballroom style, the theme of the event is Winter Ball - so expect plenty of glitter!

The dancing duos on the night will be performing the quick step, samba, waltz, and jive to raise money for the Trusts. The dancers will then be judged by none other than Shirley Ballas from BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and one couple will be crowned the Legally Ballroom Champions.

London Wildlife Trust's very own Margaret Ruttle has bravely volunteered to take centre stage and has spent the past few weeks practicing and perfecting her routine for the finale. We spoke to Margaret about her dancing journey so far:

“I am surprised at how difficult it is to learn the dance steps which was frustrating during the initial lessons but now it is starting to come together. It is great fun learning four different dance routines and the enthusiasm of my fellow dancers is infectious.”

We cannot wait to see the final performance on the 21^st November and know that Margaret and all the other dancing duos will have the upmost success on the night!
