Queen Elizabeth Hall, LondonThe terrific teenage dancers of ZooNation’s youth company crank up a gramophone time machine and zip through styles from Charleston to hip-hop
It’s massively heartening to see such talented, committed teenagers on stage as ZooNation’s youth company. A diverse crew aged between 12 and 17, the girls are powerful, the boys unafraid of expressing themselves; they make you feel good about the future.
In Tales of the Turntable, a shy wannabe DJ called Eric goes on a tour of
music and dance history, courtesy of his grandpa’s magic gramophone time machine. They roll back the decades to take in swing, disco, hip-hop, house and new jack swing, with lively, quick-footed choreography from longtime ZooNation associate Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, whose credits include Six and Hamilton.
