A 24-hour boogie has hopefully raised plenty of cash for a nursery.

Great Totham Nursery held a danceathon from 9am on Friday with help from dance groups across the Maldon district.

Danbury group, Up In Lights, Tolleshunt Knights’ Jitterbugz, Air Raid Jive from Maldon and Musical Minis all took a turn to shake their hips in the village hall.

Children also enjoyed a Peppa Pig and Buzz Lightyear themed disco.

Nursery manager Fran North said: “It was very very busy.

“It was a tremendous day.

“We had lots of support from outside and the children had great fun.”

The nursery, which is a registered charity, has yet to find out how much money has been raised from the event.
