Money raised from the event, which includes a cake stall and afternoon tea, will go to Lung Foundation Australia.
Organiser Steph Radis said she hopes both original fans of Kate Bush and the younger generation - introduced to Kate via the Netflix show Stranger Things' use of her hit Running Up That Hill - will take part.
"It is a chance to hit the op shops, dress up and have fun," Steph said.
"There are plenty of videos online that teach the moves to the song. You don't have to be a great dancer to take part and you certainly don't have to do high kicks and spins like Kate.
"I myself do a modified version of gentle wafting."
The Guildford Association will be hosting the event in memory of Steph's husband and former committee member Chris Cocozza, who died nearly three years ago after battling lung cancer.
"Chris loved music and volunteered his time for community groups. I know he would love that this event is in his honour and raising money for lung cancer research," Steph said.
