#PartnerStrictly Who’s taking part?

Once I’ve explained a little about the event, and that our dance partners are other people from the Salesforce ecosystem, everyone is super keen to find out who is taking part. You’re right, you may well know more than one of this rabble.

To find out more about the event, check out this post.

I can tell you, just like me, everyone taking part really needs your support. This is the first Partner Strictly. As with the first of everything, we put ourselves forward with no real idea what we were getting into. Yes, we were given info, but speaking for myself, I saw the word “Strictly” and simply said yes. As with all these big challenges, it seemed like a long way away at the beginning, but I can tell you the time has flown by, especially with the whirlwind that is Dreamforce punctuating our preparation. Arrh the event is next week, HELP!!

Trying to work out what we got ourselves into

The enormity of what we are trying to achieve is hitting home daily. We have been learning more and more about SportsTraider, the event charity. It has hit home the profound impact that even some of their most simple work can have. I think I can safely say that we all want to raise as much money as we can for the boys and girls that don’t have access to the basic things, like coats and trainers. We also want to make sure the event is a success so that everyone that is so excited about it has a chance to take part in the next one.

In a somewhat shocking revelation we have also realised that the steps don’t learn themselves, and that arms are not actually where you think they are. I promise you this is a site that you are not going to want to miss. There is something special about being at the first of anything. Say you will join us on the night.

So now for the judging fodder, I mean contestants. Check out this stunning list of budding yet petrified dancers. I would really appreciate it if you could sponsor me. And all the people on this list :). Below you will find who is partnering with who, their dance style and links to their Giving and Meet the Dancer pages. Please give all the support and encouragement you can.
