International tap sensation Bayley Graham, known for his standout performance on America’s Got Talent, is among the featured acts taking the stage in Christchurch this Saturday night for a heartfelt community fundraiser.

The one-night-only event at the Aurora Centre, Burnside High School, will be headlined by Molls Dolls, a beloved local tap group made up of dancers aged 23 to 82 — who are rallying together for their longtime friend and fellow dancer, Hayley Toso.

Hayley, a life member of Molls Dolls, was seriously injured in a head-on car crash earlier this year.

She now faces a long and uncertain recovery, unable to walk unaided and unsure if she’ll ever dance again.

“She’s part of our Molls Dolls whānau, and we want to do what we do best — perform and lift her up,” the group said.

Determined to help, her dance family has organised a dazzling variety show packed with local talent, including cultural performances, singers, and special guest acts, with Bayley Graham’s appearance expected to be one of the highlights of the night.

🎟️ Tickets are on sale now — don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable night in support of a dancer who has given so much to others.
