York dance group meets Carrie Hope Fletcher at Grand Opera House
Members of a York dance troupe met with multi-award-winning West End actress and singer, Carrie Hope Fletcher, recently.
The York Dance Works adult team attended a performance of Calamity Jane, in which Fletcher plays the lead role, at York's Grand Opera House on Wednesday (April 30).
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the group had learned a dance routine to musical number The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away).
They continued practising the moves virtually during lockdown, and finally performed the routine live in a show in 2022.
Catherine Finta, York Dance Works principal, said: "When we heard Calamity was coming to York, we immediately booked a dance group outing to see the fabulous Carrie Hope Fletcher and the amazing cast!"
In addition to The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away), the production also features songs such as The Black Hills of Dakota, Just Blew in From the Windy City, and the Oscar-winning Secret Love.
The show runs until this Saturday (May 3), with tickets available at
