Local Couples Take The Floor For Ayr Surf Lifesaving Club

The Ayr Surf Lifesaving Club held its major fundraising event on Saturday night. With the theme of ‘Roaring 20s’, Take the Floor 2024 took guests back 100 years to a classy evening out in flapper dresses and feathered headdresses.
The crowd were entertained throughout the evening by the four dancing couples of Mick Fraser & Shirley Marshall, Thom Pickersgill & Jane Olsen, Jimmy Hayllor & Rory Jorgensen, and Leigh Ryan & Julia Nosworthy. They absolutely wowed the audience with their fancy fast feet, tapping toes, challenging carries, enthusiastic energy and catching costumes.
After performing two dances each, a 1920s themed number and a freestyle choice, the judges and viewers made their decisions and crowned the victors. Leigh Ryan and Julia Nosworthy were awarded the overall winner of Take the Floor 2024 and the honour of Viewer's Choice went to Jimmy Hayllor and Rory Jorgensen.
The crowd then partied the night away testing out their own dance moves to live band 'Godfathers of Funk'. The Ayr Surf Club would like to thank all who came along and supported this event.
