A much-loved classic, Legacy Dance presents The Jungle Book, told through a high-energy production of hip hop, jazz, tap and contemporary dance.
An uplifting production for the whole family to enjoy.

A book of tales inspired our talents,
To explore the wilderness imbalance.
Found abandoned in the scrub,
Is it a boy? Is it a cub?
A panther’s care, a place in the pack,
A buddy bear keeping him on track.
A troupe of monkeys ruling strong,
Our man cub runs when all goes wrong.
A shifty snake with wicked eyes,
Holds the power to hypnotise.
Stalked by a tiger nemesis,
Linked to his own genesis.
Will he stay or will he roam,
To save the spot that he calls home.
Over 200 dancers, big and small,
The Jungle Book will have it all.

Viking Ha! contains a tale they missed out of the famous Viking sagas.

A tale of true friendship and growing into becoming your real self.

A tale of standing up for each other.

A tale of the lesser-known minor deities of Norse mythology.

A tale of Vikings & Dragons (NB no dragons will be trained in this production).

A tale of odd socks, bad puns and all the usual pantomime silliness.

Release your inner Viking. Release your inner Dragon. Release your laughter.

Come and have some fun – you deserve it.
