Prancer the Dancer

Prancer the Dancer invites you to the DanceDanceDiscoPartyFunShow, taking over the Clore Ballroom with a fun-filled party, as part of Imagine Children’s Festival.

A joyous piece of dance theatre for families and young audiences.

Prancer is painfully shy, but desperate to dance. It’s their biggest wish in the world. Building a time machine in their bedroom, Prancer journeys to the future where they become a world famous star, Prancer the Dancer, and tear up the Blackpool Tower Ballroom with futuristic dance power.

Come on the journey to find that confidence, and in the process, revolutionise the world… Through the power of dance!

Celebrating movement, what dance moves are like in the future, how getting our bodies going could translate into renewable energy and seeing time travel as a useful exercise in confidence building. This is fun for all the family theatre, complete with next level dance moves and a smash hit disco party soundtrack that will get you grooving after the show!
