Back in October we brought you the story of the masses of Wellingtonians of all ages, shapes and sizes queuing up at auditions to take part in Le Grand Continental® – the huge public spectacle that is kicking off the New Zealand Festival next year.
Le Grand Continental® is a 30-minute show to be performed in Wellington's Civic Square on 26 February.
Kathryn Ryan catches up with two of the lucky ones who made it through – and have been practising furiously ever since. Alice Markwell, who's 12, is one of the youngest dancers taking part, and Tony Clarke is on the other side of the spectrum.
