Ella Tighe: Disco Queen

Step into the high-speed, full-throttle world of competitive disco freestyle with Disco Queen!

Inspired by competitive disco freestyle, a form of dance born out of the iconic 1970s film Saturday Night Fever, this captivating show brings to life the fierce determination, jaw-dropping athleticism, and glittering spectacle of freestyle dance, practised by more that 46,000 young dancers in village halls and studios up and down the country.

Join Ella on a journey of high leg kicks, splits, spins, and gravity defying moves as she revisits her days in a hidden world where fake tan, rhinestones, and raw ambition rule. From smoky community halls to the high-stakes competition circuit, Disco Queen unpacks the highs and lows of striving for perfection in a community of strong young women navigating the realities of working-class Britain - all in the hope of becoming a champion, a legend, an icon... a Disco Queen.

Expect pulsing disco beats, enduring heats, high-energy choreography, and a story that celebrates resilience, community, and the relentless pursuit of passion. It’s a celebration of confidence, courage, and the spirit of competition - a chance to cheer on the underdog and discover the grit behind the glitter.
