Ukrainian dancers will join local group Dance Europa for what is billed as a Eurovision Dance Extravaganza.
It will be held tomorrow, Saturday, 27 May, at Swindon Hub in The Parade from 2pm.
Audience members will be asked to donate £10, with all proceeds donated to local aid groups Swindon Welcomes Ukraine and Swindon Humanitarian Aid Partnership.
The show is backed by campaign group Swindon for Europe, and a spokesperson said: "Come journey through Europe with Swindon's Eurovision Dance Extravaganza and help to create the opportunity for Ukrainian refugees and local dancers to perform together."
Dancers will include children, adult enthusiasts, former professionals and professional Ukrainian folk dance artists.
The spokesperson added: "Hear about the social backgrounds of dances such as Ukrainian Cossack and Courtship, Georgian Drumming and Ancient Sun Worship Dance, Bavarian Schuhplattler, traditional Irish dance, English sailors' and clog dance work movements as well as Italo-Disco and modern interpretations of Can Can, Greek and Balkan dance to Electro Folk club tracks.
"You'll soon be itching to get up and dance yourself, and who knows - you might just get the chance."
