Dancing?

I am thinking of auditioning for Tony in a local production but I am not a very good dancer. Does Tony have much dancing or not?

Not very much at all.

OK thanks.

Do you know what dancing he does have though and which part of the show it is and how complex it is etc..?

He has a small amount of dancing with Maria in the Dance at the Gym number, but nothing too strenuous. He also has sme coreoghraphy during the rumbles, but the difficulty and 'danceiness' is up to your director. I apologise for the use of the word danceiness, but I couldn't think of any other way to describe it.

Good luck!

Tony's gotta be a singer first and foremost. His dancing is very minimal. The stuff at the dance is nothing - maybe snapping his fingers, getting wobbly in the knees. Nothin much at all. He doesn't participate in any other dancing number but that.

i refuse to stop saying it until you accept its true.

and i think i can just about hit them. it was the same note i had to keep singing in we will rock you, so i know its possible. now i just have to make it sound les like a scream and more like singing. Very Happy
