The classic fairytale of 'Twelve Dancing Princesses' is told using interpretive dance. Twelve princesses line up in their dormitory to be inspected by their father at bedtime. He conducts them into their beds and says goodnight. As soon as he鈥檚 left the room, the princesses' silver slippers start to twitch. The princesses get up, put them on and leave through a magic wardrobe only to return just before dawn, their shoes scuffed and soiled.

When the king comes to wake them he鈥檚 bemused by their ruined shoes and sets a prince the task of watching them. The princesses are clever and trick the prince into drinking a sleeping potion and manage to slip out into the night again. The next night the king leaves a soldier to watch over them. He only pretends to drink the milk and follows them out through the wardrobe. He sees that they go to a magic grotto to dance all through the night. When he tells the king what he鈥檚 seen, the princesses think their dancing days are numbered, but the king returns in dancing shoes and wants to go with them.
