Dance Information

This dance was created in recognition of Diane Rooney and the expressions and sayings for which she is widely known.

The title and theme reflect phrases frequently associated with her, forming a personal connection to the way she is remembered within the dancing community.

The phrase The Cheap Seats traditionally refers to the least expensive section of seating in a theatre, stadium, or other performance venue, often located furthest from the stage or field.

While physically distant from the action, this area is known for attracting enthusiastic audiences and offering an accessible way for more people to attend events.
