Reasons to Dance invites audience members to immerse themselves in a world of Falkirk dancing memories from the last 100 years, as a large scale community cast from a broad range of ages brings stories to life through movement, storytelling and dance, their performance enhanced by City's state-of-the-art video, projection, sound and lighting systems. Guests will meet a range of characters; the bandleaders and bouncers, the DJs and players, the lovers, the fighters, the weird and the wonderful. On a journey through dance halls, school halls, bedrooms, cloakrooms and beyond, the audience will taste dancing triumph and disaster, learn the unwritten rules and routines of a night out, discover tips on dress, footwear and beauty across different eras, and maybe even pick up a few new moves...
