The Nutcracker Dance Workshop!

Last week I did a dance workshop with Alan Vincent who played The Nutcracker in Matthew Bourne's: The Nutcracker!
Alan Vincent played The Nutcracker in the version that is filmed and sold on DVD.


















We learnt part of 2 dances:

The Gobstopper Dance:
I found this dance very fun to learn, it's very enthusiastic and requires so many facial expressions that are so comical in Matthew Bourne's work. The dance is very energetic but I couldn't have had more fun learning it.

The Children's March:
This dance looks very basic but the fast footwork can be hard to master, as my partner found out. Once again the dance requires a lot of facial expressions!

Thoughts on Alan:
He's a very enthusiastic man, with such character. He was funny and very entertaining and I don't think I could have asked for a better teacher! He's very honest, straight to the point and very easy to talk to. I'd love to work with him again!
