A lonely, overweight and uncoordinated man tries dance classes so that he can 'Dance Better at Parties'. He just wants to be able to impress women and relieve his loneliness. His dance teacher is the opposite of him, a confident, lithe, sexy woman who is going through the motions encouraging him whilst her mind is on securing his custom as a client.
Dance, however, is an intimate activity and as mismatched as they may be superficially the two are drawn to each other exposing their dreams, heartaches and insecurities.
Elizabeth Nabben and Steve Rodgers are terrific as teacher and pupil and this short play of just 75 minutes duration delivers plenty of humour and finally poignancy.
★★★★
