A college staff member and student are preparing to take part in a Strictly-style dance competition to raise money for charity.
Cherese Tiller, a foundation learning curriculum co-ordinator at Suffolk New College, and Ella Chinnery, a 21-year-old employability student from East Bergholt, will compete in the Strictly Charity finals on December 12 at the Royal Hospital School.
The competition, organised by the Ipswich School of Dancing, supports Inspire Suffolk.
Ms Tiller said: "I always talk to students about standing out from the crowd and taking a risk – so I decided to practise what I preach and have a go myself.
"I’ve fallen over once – but I’m loving it, it’s building up my confidence and it’s a great atmosphere at the dance school."
Ms Chinnery, who has attended the college for five years, said: "I’m looking forward to dressing up and I’m a big Strictly fan.
"I did this to improve my dancing, show people what I can do and raise money for charity."
Donations can be made via JustGiving pages for both Ms Tiller and Ms Chinnery.
