You'll master iconic choreography and bring these show-stopping numbers to life. Additionally, don't miss our weekend masterclass focused on the thrilling closing number from Chicago, "Hot Honey Rag,". See below for full details and routine previews.
La La Land - Another Day of Sun
Mon 6 Jan - 7pm GMT - Via Zoom - BOOK NOW
Tues 7 Jan - 7pm - Open Space Studios, Hove - BOOK NOW
The opening song "Another Day of Sun" from the musical La La Land is a vibrant and dynamic sequence that sets the tone for the film. Performed on a crowded Los Angeles freeway, it features drivers leaping from their cars to sing and dance in a dazzling celebration of hope, ambition, and the pursuit of dreams. Its striking visuals and joyous spirit make it an unforgettable introduction to the story.
The dance routine "Who’s Got the Pain?" from the 1958 film adaptation of Damn Yankees is a standout moment featuring Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon—the only time they performed together on film. The number, an example of Fosse's early choreographic style, is not connected to the plot but serves as a playful showcase of their chemistry. We can’t wait to bring this routine to life in February 2025.
