The greatest 1980s dance-off movie you’ve never seen, Sidney Poitier’s Fast Forward has everything you could want from an 80s musical – plucky youngsters making it in the big city, so many leotards, ubiquitous dance rehearsals and home-decorating montages, punked out grannies, a flash mob in a snooty uptown restaurant, dance battles in the club, class struggle, AND a battle of the bands! Join us for FAST FORWARD on Saturday, November 29 @ 9:45pm. Get your 🎟️🎟️ in our 🔗🔝 | Vidiots

Today there are only two Lords of the Dance in the world, handpicked by Michael Flatley as his successors for the 25th anniversary tour: Matt Smith and Cathal Keaney. This is Matt Smith and Team Lord rehearsing the show's title number. Matt Smith: the boy who followed his dream. As a small child he saw the original 1996 #LOTD video with Michael Flatley, pointed to the TV screen, and told his mum, "I want to be that." Fast-forward a quarter of a century, and Matt Smith *is* the Lord of the Dance.
