The Lite Fantastic Dance Company features a team of talented young dancers who stage a beautifully choreographed collection of dance routines. Hip-hop and street dance form the basis of their movement which is fluid, fast moving and polished.

The choreography is so inventive and full praise must go to Neil Davy for conceiving and producing the show. Elements of ballet, jive, even ballroom and Charleston are worked seamlessly into the mix of the individual items.

The high standard of performance is maintained throughout. Two particular routines I enjoyed were the girls performing as 1930’s alluring showgirls with the high leg kicks. This was immediately followed by the guys performing a highly athletic, street-type challenge.

The final exhilarating rock’n’roll routine with all the dancers occupying the stage had the whole audience clapping along. The entire show was a delight to the eye with such a wonderful display of energy and versatility. Never a dull moment.
