I won't make a song and dance of it, but the truth must be told. The Christmas lights of Oxford street were a sight to behold!

With Christmas just 8 weeks away, GoodGym Westminster braved the hoards of central London shoppers to become, Jesus Christ Superstars for fantastic cause - Rhythms of Life.

At 6.30pm on the dot, the team took to the streets to weave the wiggly route towards Covent Gardens the current home of our old familiar friends - Rhythms of life. A fantastic charity that provides a variety of support for homeless people in the borough.
Unbeknown to GG Westminster, this site was also once the working home of one and only Andrew Lloyd Webber, king of west end music theatre

With the task at hand this week to sort and organise clothing donations, all eyes were peeled for technicoloured dreamcoat or two!

Not to be outdone, our very own Andrew met us at the door with water, coconut water and grapes... Very posh. We were promised wine but perhaps we were meant to crush the grapes ourselves?

Getting straight to work the room suddenly filled with a ton of yellow bags stuffed full of clobber to be sorted into items. The crew dived head first in... Literally....thanks for that Callum haaaaaa and setting an example I put my: >"best foot forward" - The foot attached to the yellow stocking clad prosthetic leg I found of course.

Folding and stacking the team had the task licked in no time at all and with just enough time for some good old GG photo posing, we were off once more into the streets. But before the run back, a bit of fun on the street outside.

Accompanied by the drumming Rhythms of the cast of STOMP rehearsing next door, we joined in with our own fancy footwork:

*Toe taps *Calf raises * Squats *Curb jumps *Step ups

With the final curtain close, we wished a happy farewell to the team and set off. Hot footing it back into the night, we met it head on, with one last challenge to close. Street sprints and tempos all the way back to Regents Street and the finale was complete.

Until next time xxxx Ellie signing out!
