This week we were delighted to hear that AN AMERICAN IN PARIS has extended until 2018 in the West End. To celebrate, we rounded up some alternative dance moves from our favourite toe-tapping musicals. Bank Holiday weekend is coming right up, and it’s time to work those dancing feet! We’d love you to tweet @StageFaves with any of your own #BankHolidayDance moves!
First up…it’s the 42ND STREET Stair Dance!
