Five sets of couples performed their best rock’n’roll moves as a Suffolk hospice’s Strictly-inspired dance contest drew closer to the grand final.

Amateur dancers at St Elizabeth Hospice threw themselves into the rock theme, performing dances to classic anthems.

There are only two days left until the final stage on Saturday, which will see couples compete for the glitter ball trophy.

Dancers performing yesterday were chief executive Mark Millar, office services manager Sue Tunaley, Dr Robert Brodrick and Dr Karen Arundale.

Front of house coordinator Tracey new and patient services coordinator Debbie Wright also took part.
