CHOREOGRAPHER Arlene Phillips is encouraging young Londoners to help a charity save lives through dance.

The So You Think You Can Dance judge is supporting the British Red Cross 'Dance: Make Your Move project', which challenges youngsters from schools and clubs to choreograph a routine inspired by the work of the charity.

Winning groups will each receive a workshop from the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) while teachers will receive a RAD Friend of the Academy membership and goodie bag.

Arlene said: “If you love dancing, then get involved in Dance: Make Your Move.

"It's a fantastic opportunity for young people to perform and have fun. I'm proud to support this British Red Cross project and I hope that you will too."

Cash from ticket sales will support the charity's projects at home and overseas.
