Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks

According to the adage ‘opposites attract’, and a prime example of this is Javeenbah’s current production of Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks. 

This two hander is a ‘tour de force’ with consummate performances from Joanne-fae Worland as Lily and Andrew Cockcroft-Penman as Michael.

Set in a Florida Seniors Living apartment, the widow of a southern Baptist Minister is seeking dance lessons from a former Broadway ‘hoofer’ turned Ballroom dance instructor. Both live lonely lives - both crave for companionship and along the journey there are little lives and fiery exchanges intertwined with a lot of great dancing - a couple of vulnerable people who develop a mutual understanding and respect for each other’s background and circumstances.

Director Gaye Gay has crafted this abrasive combination into a very enjoyable 2 hours of great theatre with never a dull moment.

With a cast of only two, one may be forgiven for thinking it to be a predictable and tedious experience but nothing could be further from the truth!  This show has pace and panache!

Javeenbah’s intimate 100 seat theatre is perfect for this style of entertainment.

Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeksis a wonderful theatre treat – don’t miss it!
