The intricate steps, perfectly timed, looked easy and effortless and
yet must have taken hours of practice and expertise to appear so natural.
Equal
thought and precision was given to the costumes which had a 1930's
appearance with sensuous silks, rich reds, beads and braces for
the blokes.
The
troupe of about ten dancers (five couples) included two principal
dancers and then there was the crooner who periodically sang love
songs while chasing a woman who had dropped her hankerchief.
The
finale included a light sequence to coincide with the principal
dancers on the stage giving the impression of two figures made of
stars shadowing their human counterparts, a match made in heaven
you might say.
Altogether,
a jaw-dropping performance of dance so appreciated by the Liverpool
audience that the performers returned on stage for three encores.
