Dancers wanted for Tamworth Pantomime

THE search is on for dancers to be part of this year’s pantomime at the Tamworth Assembly Rooms.

Aladdin runs for 19 performances this Christmas, and the Tamworth Pantomime Company are on the lookout for men and women between 16 and 30 years old who want to join the dance troupe.

Olivia Shepherd is playing the princess in Aladdin, and she is also the choreographer.

Olivia said: “The dancers are a huge part of the pantomime experience and bring the songs to life. The dances are very often part of the scenes, rather than a stand-a-lone performance, and the cast will join in as well.

“I started my pantomime career as a dancer for over ten years before I made it onto the main cast. It’s the most fun you can have on stage, and an experience I will never forget. It really stands you in good stead for a career in muscial theatre, but for those who just do it as a hobby it is a great way to spend your Christmas”
