This taster workshop explores the many and various possibilities of comic and popular dance, investigating the vaudeville tradition, and exploring the potential of different dance forms in the creation of comic numeros. The day will include classic eccentric dance routines, such as those popularised by Laurel & Hardy, and the legendary Wilson Keppel & Betty; explore the comic potential of popular dance rhythms such as Charleston, Tango, Jazz, and Mambo; and subvert well-known dance traditions such as the Can Can and Saturday Night Fever.
