The ‘Foxy Dance’ craze looks set to take the nation’s bingo players by storm as they are invited to shake their stuff ahead of the Red Nose game. The dance incorporates a number of fun, 70’s style dance moves set to energetic disco music. The dance aims get players excited about Red Nose Day and help to raise £150,000!
Blond bombshell Kristina says:

“I’m delighted to be working with Foxy and we had a great time creating our own unique ‘foxtrot’. Our dance is great fun and will also help you get fit in the comfort of your own home. I urge everyone to sign up for the Red Nose game on FoxyBingo.com and raise as much money as possible for Comic Relief.”
