Are you a budding Fred Astaire, Ruthie Henshall, Billy Elliot or Maria Von Trapp?

Well this month Lancaster’s Ludus Dance is offering you the chance to dance along to all your favourite show-stoppers at their Musical Theatre Super Sunday.

Featuring exciting choreography from some of the greatest shows of all time, there will be sessions for beginners in the morning and improvers in the afternoon, so you can attend one to try your hand, or make a full day of it and attend both.

The sessions will be led by Helen Gould and Kat Irving, both familiar faces for participants of Contemporary and Street Dance classes at Ludus. They are both very excited at the prospect of a whole day of twirling canes and bowler hats.

“We’ve drawn on the wealth of Musical Theatre you’ll find in London’s East End or on Broadway,” says Helen, “and picked out a range of classic pieces which illustrate the diversity of the genre, from ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘Wicked’ right through to ‘Hairspray’ and ‘Cabaret’.”

“The sessions are guaranteed to be lots of fun because these songs bring out the over-actor in all of us,” Kat adds. “I’m looking forward to an all-singing, all-dancing spectacular with lots of jazz hands in attendance!”

The event is for over 18s only and takes place on Sunday 4th October. The morning session runs from 10.30am to 12.30pm and the afternoon session runs from 1.30pm to 3.30pm. Individual sessions cost £10.50 (£8.50 concessions) and the whole day costs £16 (£14 concessions). And if you just can’t get enough, Kat runs a regular Musical Theatre session on a Wednesday from 6.30pm at The Borough on Dalton Square.
