Biff is not like ordinary dogs. He likes moonlight. And music. And walking on his tiptoes.

You see, Biff doesn’t think he’s a dog, Biff thinks he’s a ballerina…

The sublime and the ridiculous combine in this hilarious story of a small dog with a big personality and even bigger dreams, brought to life using beautiful puppets, well-loved ballet music and dazzling comedy.


This play is based on the original book Dogs Don’t Do Ballet © 2010 text by Anna Kemp, illustrations by Sara Ogilvie.

Alice – a curious individual who finds herself following a White Rabbit into a magical world known as WonderJam.


WonderJAm is a truly exceptional place where everyone loves to celebrate life and dance.  

Suddenly everyone in WonderJam, including Alice and the White Rabbit are sucked into a black hole and find themselves trapped in a dark, evil realm that belongs to the Queen of Hearts.

To get back to WonderJam, everyone who is trapped must complete challenges set up and skillfully planned by the Queen herself.  


The Queen knows the people in WonderJam can dance but how well?
