Dance Information
The White Rabbit is a fictional character in Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
He appears at the very beginning of the book, in chapter one, wearing a waistcoat, and muttering "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" Alice follows him down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.
