Ticket sales met the studio’s goal of $1000, which will be donated to the Community Centre.
Studio principal Shannon Oke said it went off without a hitch.
“Most of the ladies had never danced before,” Ms Oke said.

“Myself and other cast members have been approached by a lot of guests hoping to get involved next year,” Ms Oke said.
