The stars have finally aligned and the sequins are sparkling for Port Macquarie-Hastings' most entertaining fundraising event - the Stars of the Hastings Dance for Cancer, this year to be held at the Glasshouse Theatre.

Nine dancers are quick-stepping their fundraising for this worthy cause and fine-tuning their routines for a dazzling night of entertainment. They have already collectively raised more than $92,000.

The stars, who are being supported by talented local dance teachers, are: Brendan McDonald, technical services librarian at Port Macquarie-Hastings Library; Cassie Clark of Seasalt Café & Restaurant; Cori Aspinall of Port Macquarie Orthodontics; Dr Kristy Kostalas of Port Medical Aesthetics Clinic and Bangalow & Co; Mark Matheson of Modern Edge Physio; Meaghan Cook of Hastings Secondary College; Natasha Swain, a hairdresser/TAFE Teacher; Tim Farnsworth from Westpac and Michael Ferguson of Wauchope Veterinary Clinic.
