Dance legend coming to town

He’s been treading the boards for decades and now he’s heading to Spalding.

Wayne Sleep is appearing at The South Holland Centre on Friday, May 6 (7.30pm) where he’ll be talking though his long and distinguished career.

The 72-year-old dancer, director and choreographer has shared the stage with some of show business’ most famous faces.

Now he’s touring the country and providing the low down on a fabulous career.

A spokesman for The South Holland Centre said: “Using his own rare film footage and photos Wayne will describe how he became a principal dancer at the Royal Ballet with numerous roles specially created for him before moving on to starring roles in the West End, founding his own dance company and touring the world with it in his show Dash.

“His first steps into the world of film and TV are illustrated with rarely seen clips and cover his own TV series The Hot Shoe Show, the prestige of being a special guest on The Morecambe and Wise Show, starring alongside Sean Connery, and all of the off-camera gossip about The Real Marigold Hotel.

“Bringing it all up to the present Wayne will cover his recent appearances in celebrity reality shows and will talk about his long-standing association with the Royal Family, including his relationship with Princess

Margaret and his close personal friendship with Diana, Princess of Wales.

“Finally any evening with Wayne wouldn’t be complete without a step or two plus there will be a Q&A in the second half so you’ll not be disappointed!”

Tickets for the event are £25 are available from www.southhollandcentre.co.uk
