Video Interview - Dance Captain

Ian, the Dance Captain of the Carnival Freedom, sat down to tell us what it takes to create a spectacular stage show at sea.  We caught up with him backstage to ask a few questions about managing the productions, and there are definitely a few extra factors to consider when planning an event aboard a moving vessel.  Check out the interview, and many thanks to Ian for taking time out of his day to speak with us.

I want to thank Ian for a great insight to being the Dance Captain without revealing to many of the secrets of professional dance. The challenges of dancing on a moving stage and reblocking when a dancer goes down are hugh and yet the audience nevers even knows it happened.  My hat is off to alll the pros who dance and sign on Carnival.

One more comment:  I was dissapointed after the video to see an AD for Scientology, which I believe to be a very destructive and manipulative organization.  Helping promote this kind of activity shoudl be discouraged

Hi Gordon, we're really glad you enjoyed the video!  And thank you for bringing the other issue to our attention.  It was a technical glitch that we have now addressed, and it shouldn't happen again.
