IT is the high-octane musical that has left Southampton’s Mayflower theatre literally shaking as the audience can’t help but dance in the aisles to the electrifying 80s tunes.

But this weekend the Footloose cast took time between their allsinging all-dancing performances to show Southampton exactly how to kick off their Sunday shoes.

Actors Nikki Mullins, dance captain, and Daniel Smith, who plays Lyle in the hit musical, headed to Fitness First gym in Shirley to give fans a dance class with a difference.

Budding dancers and Footloose fans packed out the studio and limbered up to join in with Nikki and Daniel, who took them through each move from the gym scene.

Gym-goer 41-year-old Donna Venn, from Southampton, said: “Wow, what a treat it was fantastic.

“I definitely want to go to see the show now and at least I can say I’ve danced that when the gym scene comes on.”
