House Party NYE

So, New Year’s Eve 2012 Sparklemotion danced on live TV.That’s LIVE TV kids…and IT ROCKED. A memorable way to see off one year and usher in another for sure.

We were booked as part of Channel 4’s epic House Party…6 hours of kick-ass tunes, visuals and interactive New Year shenanigans. My remit was to fill the gap between the only two ad breaks (no pressure) with a routine to The Jacksons ‘Can You Feel it’ (Tune!). Christmas went by the wayside and instead I had a frantically fab week choreographing, costume making, and rehearsing.

The day itself was amazing and terrifying in equal measures. And yes, the space was tiny, and yes, equipment wobbled and yes,the nerves were off the scale, but the dance passed without incident and the crew at House Party made Sparklemotion look awesome. Seriously, like an episode of TOTP from yesteryear. Pretty special.
