CHRISTMAS - Dancers and Singers, Thursford Christmas Spectacular
DANCERS
With a troupe of 23 excellent all round female/female identifying dancers, we have 18 on-stage tracks plus 5 swings. Rotation of dancers, and days off are handled by our Dance Captain, Tanith Williams. Dance styles are varied and in 2025 included Parisian Showgirl, skins work, musical theatre, Irish and precision kick-line work. Any special skill such as Irish will always be taught during the rehearsal process, no prior knowledge is required. All our artistes are versatile, with a positive attitude. They should enjoy working as part of a strong united team, where all members are equally valued. Our numbers do not have solo or lead dancers. They will be required to wear full costume and full skins. Once performances start there are two a day, seven days a week. Given the frequency of performances, they have to know their stamina and how to pace themselves accordingly, though we schedule one day off every 8-10 days. All cast members live locally for the duration usually in shared holiday accommodation. Subsistence is included in the fee to cover this. Travel is by car, and those without have to make arrangements with drivers in the cast. Payment is made in several instalments, each one of which must be invoiced for. The job is hugely enjoyable - they will perform to ecstatically happy capacity audiences (over 1,400 seats), and stay in a beautiful part of the world, less than 15 minutes from the coast in North Norfolk. ​ We at Thursford are committed to having a diverse range of skills, experience and talent working with us both front and backstage, and as such we’re keen for applicants from under-represented groups to apply; which include those from all ethnic backgrounds, lower socio-economic groups, the LGBTQIA+ community and different backgrounds, to ensure we are truly representative of all.
