Quite by accident I spotted an ad for the Ballet Central summer show at Chipping Norton theatre. Each year the graduating students from Central Ballet School do a summer tour around the UK as part of the Ballet Central touring company, so I decided it was worth checking out. I’ve not been to the ballet…
Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella at the Birmingham Hippodrome
After years of ballet lessons and going to see the ballet, it has been some time since I’ve been to big ballet production. I’d managed to buy tickets for the last night of Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella at the Birmingham Hippodrome and Saturday was our time to go. I quite often go to the theatre on…
Milton Keynes Kings Centre ceroc class review
One of the reasons I love where I live is because it’s so easy and quick to drive to a lot of places. Within an hour I can be in about 7 counties. So while there are no modern jive classes in my nearest towns, with a 45 minute drive I can be at any…
Tango Fire setting the argentine tango stage alight

Compared to modern jive where…
Rewind Forward – Yorke Dance Project at The Mill review

Captive by Motionhouse Dance Theatre – outdoor dance
This blog might be focused largely on modern jive because that’s the dance style I mostly do myself. But I love most styles of dance and I’m keen to bring in other styles to What about Dance. Because that’s what modern jive is – a mash up of lots of different styles with every dancer…
Lost by Motionhouse – contemporary dance
I love dance. Obviously I do otherwise I’d not have set up this blog. But while I might love dance, there’s certain genres I’ll enjoy watching more than others. I was brought up watching and doing ballet, loved musical theatre, and I’ve done lots of partner dancing. I’ll happily watch whatever dance movie is on. …
