Tessa Bide Productions

The Tap Dancing Mermaid

It’s time to hear the Moon’s story, one you will NEVER forget…

Gather round for the Moon’s magical story about a tippetty-top tap dancer who he has been watching at night. Marina Skippett creeps out of her house every night to shuffle and stomp on the boardwalk to the sounds of the sea. She can’t tap dance at home any more since her evil, tractor-sized Aunty banned it! But then, one moonlit night, Marina meets a mysterious, watery boy swimming in the sea and her life is never the same again…

Tessa Bide Productions present stunning puppets, original live music and tap dancing that will make you want to stick 50ps to your shoes and join in!
