Heelwork
to music
Canine dancing is great fun to watch and to take part in. And
if you fancy having a go at canine dancing, there are some free
heelwork to music dance classes taking place. The dance classes
do not have to be pre-booked but entry to the heelwork to music
competition is by advanced entry only.
There are 4 classes to enter, suiting all ages
and experience:
- Under 18s
- Debut Dancers
- Novices
- High flyers
Pup
Idol
Does your dog have a special talent that could woo the crowd?
The sky’s the limit for this one. Past contestants have
been anything from skateboarding to a dog doing a striptease.
This event is one of the highlights of the Wag and Bone Show and
is free to enter. With 2 minutes to entertain the crowd, what
could your pooch do?
Look-alikes
This year there will be 2 categories:
- Natural look-alikes
- Augmented
So, even if you do not naturally look like your
dog, could a bit of face paint or maybe even a costume transform
you into your canine companion? No dressing up the dogs though,
please.
Book in advance
If you book in advance you will be able to simply walk up to your
allotted ring, show your pass and take part. No fuss, no waiting.
Booking in advance will also save you money and don’t forget
that it’s all in aid of some very good causes – so
what are you waiting for!
Don’t forget to buy your own entry ticket
to the Wag and Bone Show as well. Again, advanced ticket purchase
is cheaper than buying on the day. You can buy your tickets by
calling 0870 272 7374 or by visiting www.thewagandboneshow.co.uk/sales.html
