The Hallé – Dance Extravaganza

Grand waltzes, leg-kicking hoe-downs and mambos galore all feature in this spirited celebration of music and dance!

Here are melodies that have found their way into our lives from small screen to big screen, in adverts and on the stage. You may not remember exactly where you first heard them, but you’ll find yourself humming along and tapping your toes nevertheless. Delight in Shostakovich’s fantastic arrangement of Tea for Two (the Tahiti Trot), try to keep up with Grieg’s frenetic Norwegian Dance and give in to the sheer dramatic passion of two of Tchaikovsky’s greatest ballet creations. Oh, and try to control yourself through those tangos…
