Dancing, stairs and the silver screen come together in a one-of-a-kind performance.
As an ode to our renewed museum, choreographer Dana Jolly has created an original dance piece which pays tribute to some of the most spectacular dance routines performed on stairs ever captured on screen.
Featuring homages to the iconic dance routines of Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and the Nicholas Brothers and films ranging from Singin' in the Rain to Dirty Dancing, this is an event not to be missed.
