PAUL Hollywood may have come a cropper with Strictly Come Dancing bosses this week. But Cheltenham is cooking up a dance festival of its own.
The Town Hall is hosting the 21st Cheltenham Ballroom & Latin Dance Festival from this Thursday to Sunday.
You'll find a show-stopping programme for dancers and spectators, including balls, all-star cabaret and an array of classes and workshops for all levels.
Tickets for the weekend, which includes entry to all events and expert tuition from dance teachers, cost £52.
But The Buzz has teamed up with the Town Hall to offer one lucky couple a pair of tickets to the festival, worth £104, plus a private tango lesson with Tango Cheltenham, which is hosting festival events on Friday night.
A festival spokesman said: "The fun, private tango lesson will be tailored to suit the winning couple, so whether you're accomplished dancers or simply Strictly Come Dancing-lovers, you'll be in very good hands."
