Corryvreckan

YDance

Treacherous waters, dancers tossed and turned on the tide, Norse warriors and a magnificent sea witch. With a beautiful score and scenes of haunting intrigue deep below the surface of the North Sea, YDance transports us to the mythical world of Corryvreckan. Vibrant as they are talented, the dancers give flawless performances that surpass many of the adult shows I've seen in recent days. The enchanting choreography draws us in alongside impressive costumes and a remarkable rotating set and before you know it, we too are swept up in the mysterious ebbs and flows of the whirlpool. A must-see for young dance enthusiasts, this show won't fail to capture the imagination... and the more seasoned ones won't be disappointed either.

Dance Base - National Centre For Dance, 12 - 16 Aug, 12.00pm (12.45pm), £7.00, fpp 12
