Product Information

Anton chose to put Adam and Luba through, adding: "Well it’s not much of a consolation now – but both couples danced very well and both couples put their best foot forward.

Nothing is quite as it seems, and behind the cheerful facades of puppets and comic books, is a troubled history has begun to repeat itself. Frédéric Despierre, rehearsal director for Hofesh Shechter Company and a freelance teacher, believes the mirror can distract students from being fully aware of their bodies in space. Celebrities are taught to dance by their professional partners, performing live each week for the viewers' vote as they bid to lift the glitterball and scoop the winners' prize. Something sinister is afoot in the streets of Dundee*, when a puppeteer is found murdered behind his striped Punch and Judy stand, as children sit cross-legged drinking ginger beer.Relying on the mirror can lead dancers to focus more on how they look than on how their movement feels, says Radell. Dandy says of the odour present backstage in a struggling theatre: “Hair tonic and face paint, that sweet combination of powder and grease only multiplied a hundredfold.

It’s really about letting the body find its ways of moving, rather than imposing something on it,” he says.
