COME learn the high- (or not so high) kicking, skirt-swishing, whooping extravaganza that is the French Can-Can, in a fun evening tomorrow (14) at Bridport's Lyric Theatre.

Victoria Hole - aka Velma Holiday - is back to teach this workshop.

This spirited and energetic dance has been a firm Parisian favourite since the early 19th century.

We will celebrate this energetic and powerful dance with the famous can-can chorus line and a flash or two of the derriere!

Disclaimer: Please wear undergarments. Bring comfortable footwear and a full, round skirt suitable for swishing.

Suitable for those with a little or a lot of dance experience, the aim of the game is fun and fancy free.

Victoria is a professional Bristol-based dancer and dance teacher. She puts everyone at ease with her friendly, fun teaching style. You might have been to her Jive and Charleston workshops she has run over the last year or so at The Lyric. Round up your friends or come on your own - this workshop, like Victoria's others, is open to everyone (over 16) to come and have fun!
