Chantry Dance presents....
 
The Imprisoned Moon

​Coming Soon to Grantham and Stamford in February 2021!
Picture

​Lincolnshire is a county of marshy fen land, smooth fields, and the steep valleys of the rolling Wolds. It is also blessed with a rich heritage of intriguing folk stories and legends. 
 
Using dance, circus and theatre to bring one of these wonderful tales to life, Chantry Dance presents extracts from our latest show in development, The Imprisoned Moon.
 
The Imprisoned Moon tells of the time the Moon came down from the sky to walk over the Lincolnshire Carrland. The soft light of her shining hair saved a lone traveller from falling into the marshy ground so he could return safely to his village. This angered the Carr’s bogles who seized the poor Moon and held her captive, plunging the village into darkness and terrifying the folk as the bogles could now roam freely. The traveller, guided by the light of a Will O’the Wisp, returned to the Carrland to rescue the Moon, so her light could forevermore keep the bogles at bay and keep the villagers safe.
 
With stunning aerial hoop acrobatics and contemporary dance, Chantry will be presenting the full-length version of The Imprisoned Moon in February 2021 in Grantham and Stamford.

Announcing.....

Our original ballet coming soon to a theatre near you; 
​


The Little Mermaid

 DATES COMING SOON!
​
THE LITTLE MERMAID will be on tour to cities around the UK, also playing under the title AQUARIA, THE SEA-MAID'S TALE in Lincoln.





​Chantry Dance has taken the story of everyone's favourite mermaid, and given it a beautiful new twist in the tale.

​
At Princess Aquaria's coming-of-age birthday, she is given permission by the Sea-King to visit the World Above. Swimming to the surface, she is fascinated by the humans that she sees.

A folk band, The Sandcastles, are playing on the beach. As their music reaches Aquaria's ears, she falls in love with the melodies and the dancing.


She is also enthralled by the charismatic leader of the band, the guitarist Calder (a real prince of music). Sadly she has to return to the Underwater Kingdom.

​

But Aquaria and Calder's fates have become intertwined. 



Following a windsurfing accident, Aquaria rescues Calder, and falls deeply in love with him.


She makes a grave bargain with the Sea-Witch, trading her voice for a pair of human legs so she can be with Calder.

​But as we all know, nothing is ever that simple, and Aquaria will have to overcome many struggles to be with her true love, including the jealous rivalry of The Sandcastles' lead singer, being captured by unscrupulous fishermen, and of course the loss of her voice to the Sea-Witch.


​Join Chantry for this year's must-see show, featuring stunning contemporary choreography, acrobatics, beautiful costumes and an international cast of exceptional dancers, including RAE PIPER & PAUL CHANTRY as Aquaria and Calder (choreographers of David Walliams' Olivier-nominated West End hit show 'Gangsta Granny' and 'Billionaire Boy') and SHANNON PARKER as the Sea-Witch (San Francisco Ballet, Northern Ballet Theatre and Britain's Got Talent).

Booking details will be released soon!

This year we celebrated Valentines day in our own unique way, by inviting you all to join the International Artists of Chantry Dance for our very first CHANTRY GALA! 
 
The Chantry Gala was an evening of BALLET, CONTEMPORARY DANCE, MUSICAL THEATRE & much more!
It featured a thrilling variety of work including extracts from Chantry’s previous productions, as well as new contemporary and jazz choreography, classical ballet favourites, and songs from West End Musical Theatre shows.

This superb production was brought to you by the choreographers of the OLIVIER-NOMINATED production of DAVID WALLIAMS’ GANGSTA GRANNY and BILLIONAIRE BOY, and featured SHANNON PARKER, former Principal dancer with San Francisco Ballet and BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT Finalist.
 
The Gala celebrated all aspects of Chantry’s work, so we were delighted to also include performances from the Diploma students who study on the full-time professional performance course at Chantry School, and our Associate students. 
 
We had a fantastic sell-out audience and received many wonderful reviews for the Gala...

The Chantry Gala was an amazing showcase of truly talented dancers, singers and choreographers - all on one stage for one night only! Every performance was delivered so professionally, from the associates to the seasoned professionals. We were guided seamlessly through the show, taking the audience on a wonderful adventure with the chantry dance company as they expertly brought stories to each dance. It left us wanting more, more, more!
