The event will be held at the town hall on Saturday, March 9, and aims to raise funds for the Cancer Council.

Cancer Council North West's Katherine Welsh said all funds raised would stay in the North West area.

"It’s about locals supporting locals, and the community supporting one another, particularly with the drought," Ms Welsh said.

"It's just to have fun and to bring the community together for a great time."

A number of local stars will be a part of the event - Lizzy Bell, Bryce Ellis, Amelia Smith, Jade Punch, Gayathri Muthusamy, Grace Norris and Cara Anderson. Local radio presenter Jules Bailey will be emcee.

They are all currently under the tutelage of local dance teacher Angela Denman, of Elysian Performing Arts.

Gunnedah woman Lizzy Bell said participating in the event "was something she couldn't say no to".

"The Cancer Council is a very worthy cause and I love that any money raised would stay in our local community," Ms Bell said.

"I've had some family and friends that have been affected by cancer, so it was something that was close to my heart."

Ms Bell said her duo with Gunnedah woman Amelia Smith was slowly coming together.

"We're doing a jazz routine - we're starting to pull things together," she said.

"The date is starting to loom now; next week will be quite a busy week with practice."

Tickets to the event are on sale now, with the hope of raising more than $50,000 for Cancer Council's local support services.

This includes Inala House, Cancer Council’s accommodation facility based at the North West Cancer Centre in Tamworth; and Cancer Council’s local New England and North West Transport to Treatment service.
