Once upon a dance floor… in a kingdom not so far away, lived Francis Footwork. When kind-hearted King Two Lefties ascends to the throne, he is tricked by trusted adviser Colonel Headbanger to rule the land with an iron fist. He wants to end all dancing. So Francis teaches him a dance lesson he will never forget! FRANCIS FOOTWORK is an uplifting, empowering tale that celebrates individuality and encourages everyone to dance their own dance and includes Creative Dance Tales workshops led by Olwyn Lyons.
