Royal Ballet Principal Steven McRae and ZooNation's Turbo compete in a ballet/tap vs hip-hop dance
Two
Mad Hatters take to the stages of the Royal Opera House this festive
season, in works inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland. We couldn’t resist bringing together the two different
versions of the same character for a dance-off in full costume in front
of an audience of 50 excited children from local school St Joseph’s
Primary.
Royal Ballet Principal Steven McRae plays the
tap-dancing Mad Hatter in The Royal Ballet’s Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland this Christmas, while Turbo’s hip hop-styled Mad Hatter
features in ZooNation’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. The former production
will be live in cinemas around the world on 16 December, while the
latter will be live-streamed for free via YouTube and this website on 18
December.
