There is room for big dreams and small miracles in the Royal Danish Theatre’s children’s ballet Dance Fever Dance Fever is a true fairytale enchanted with an atmosphere of theatrical Christmas. It pays tribute to the brave children who dare be themselves, even if they are a little different. A story about how important it is to have self-confidence and to believe in the value of who you are. During Christmas of 2020, Danish national broadcaster DR featured Julefeber, an Advent calendar TV show that excited children and all childlike souls who love Christmas. The following year saw the premiere of the ballet Dance Fever, an independent sequel that builds on the original story. Dance Fever is choreographed by Tobias Praetorius, a soloist at the Royal Danish Ballet, and is performed by students of the Royal Danish Ballet School. Just like in the TV show, the story of Dance Fever unfolds with the Royal Danish Theatre’s magnificent Old Stage as its scenic backdrop, but in Dance Fever you experience the characters live on stage. We meet a footballer, Arthur, who becomes fascinated by the wonderful world of dance. Other famous characters from the TV show include Arthur’s helpful younger sister, Gro, and their wacky, perplexing grandmother. Anything can happen in the world of theatre when this popular children’s ballet returns to the Old Stage – full of magic and sorcery.
