House of Dance: Turn up The Tempo

House of Dance are back at Storyhouse on Sunday 8 November, with a brand-new production they've titled Turn up the Tempo. It's a high-energy show that takes you through a vibrant mix of dance and theatre, and it's performed by the school's young dancers, so there's a good bit of local talent on the stage.

If you've seen them before, you'll know the drill: this is a company of young performers rather than a professional touring cast, and the whole thing is built around the work they do at the House of Dance Performing Arts and Theatre School. Turn up the Tempo is a new piece, not a revival, so it's a first look at what they've been working on. The school's name gives it away—it's as much about theatre as it is about dance, so you'll get a bit of both rather than just a sequence of routines.

It's a matinee, which makes it an easy one to bring the family along to. The show starts at 1:30pm in the Main Theatre, so you'll be out well before the evening kicks in. Tickets are £19.50 for members and £21.50 for non-members, and they're limited to six per customer, so if you're booking for a larger group, keep that in mind. It's a Sunday afternoon in Chester, and the show is all about the energy of the young dancers, so it's a straightforward, high-spirited way to spend a couple of hours.
