In the 4 months building up to the Aviva Premiership Rugby Final 2012, 600 young people from a cross section of society, will be trained by a team of West End choreographers to learn a dance routine they will perform to a capacity crowd of 82,000 at the Aviva Premiership Rugby Final at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday May 26th.

Tyger-Drew Honey, teenage star of Best UK Sitcom "Outnumbered", has agreed to lend his support by leading the kids in their dance routine and train alongside some of them in the coming months. His Strictly Come Dancing-style training began with an introductory session at the home of England Rugby, Twickenham Stadium, last Thursday where he in turn was mentored by rugby and Strictly Come Dancing star Matt Dawson (77 England caps and "Strictly" Runner-Up 2006). There was some healthy ribbing when TV presenter and former England player Martin Bayfield was on hand to interview Tyger and listen to Matt's words of encouragement.

Tyger said "To be honest I'm a bit nervous about the whole project, it's going to be very different from the TV sets I'm used to performing in! I'm not that great a dancer either, but this is such a great project for kids of my age, to give them a sense of worth and achievement, I'm glad I can help. 600 choreographed kids - it's going to be a fantastic spectacle and the Final has been a sell-out for the last 4 years so if anyone is interested in coming I would get your tickets early."

Following last summer's civil disturbances and in the year of London Olympics 2012, this initiative places children and young adults in a situation they would never normally experience - building confidence and demonstrating that with hard work and perseverance there are opportunities and options in life. Children of all abilities will work alongside each other to create a powerful mass movement dance performance: it's about equalizing people and realising their best efforts.

This initiative is deliberately intended to mirror the determination, drive and self-belief that is required to play rugby at the very highest level - the Aviva Premiership Rugby Final.
