| Synopsis of the musical show.. |
| |
From the back streets of Brooklyn to the bright lights of Broadway - one man’s journey from janitor to superstar.
As a boy, Tito's dream was to become a famous dancer. Laughed at in his neighbourhood, disrespected at work he auditioned for everything and anything - desperate for someone to see the talent he held inside.
Working as a janitor in a theatre on Broadway he would spend his nights watching all the shows - drawn to the electric atmosphere and excitement of a life in the spotlight.
Even though the future looked bleak, through gritted teeth Tito didn’t give up, refused to give in and dedicated his life to pursuing his dream.
Ten years later Tito has made it – he achieved everything he ever wanted and has the fame and recognition he always wanted but something inside drives Tito to return to the place where it all began…
Believe Me I’m a Dancer - A story about dreams and what happens if we have the courage to pursue them... |

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Dubai Dance Festival 2010. It was a great year for DDF last year with an increase in audiences, higher accessibility through ticket offers, and a fantastic array of international and homegrown talent performing in our highest number of performances yet!
So what will 2010 bring? Certainly not just 'more of the same' anyway. We'll be bringing new groups to the Festival that have never set foot on Dubai soil, developing new performances and projects to delight participants and audiences alike and, of course, providing even better ticket offers!
Keep coming back to the website for updates on all that's going on at DDF 2010 - believe us, it's going to be fantastic!
Wishing everyone involved in the festival all the success and hope you're all as excited as we are for what the year & the festival will bring ahead.
DDF brings World dance community together!!
From all the team at DDF!
