LORD OF THE DANCE: DANGEROUS GAMES

OFFERS FREE WEEKLY DANCE WORKSHOPS

FOR STUDENTS AGED 11 TO 18

FROM 10 NOVEMBER TO 15 DECEMBER

Michael Flatley has set up an outreach programme to provide young people the opportunity to dance on stage at the Playhouse Theatre in London’s West End. The talented cast of Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games will conduct once-weekly workshops commencing 10 November through to 15 December.  In association with West End Creative Learning at ATG, students between the ages of 11 and 18 will be taught steps by the cast of Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games and be given an insight into the world of theatre.  Following the workshop, they will be invited to watch the evening performance of the show.  A limited number of places will be available for these workshops.

Michael Flatley said, “Every child should be given the opportunity to dance and it is my honour to be able to encourage young people to follow their dreams.” 

Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games opened at the Playhouse Theatre on 10 October and runs until 3 January 2016, following a highly successful six-month limited season at the Dominion Theatre, which finished on 5 September.
