Dynamotion - Butch Flaccidy and the Fun Dance Kidz

Howdy Partners! Your favourite dance comedians, Dynamotion, are ridin’ into town with a rattlin’ revenge story. It’s comedy, it’s dance. Featuring music from Bony M, Diplo, Missy Elliot and more!

70 Minutes
Wed 7 - Sat 17 December

Dynamotion, the company that bought you sell-out comedy dance shows ‘Top Town’ and ‘Mia Blonde’ are entering new frontiers with a wild tale of revenge. 

Young Butch Flaccidy is orphaned when her family’s heist goes wrong in the bakery of Coyote’s Ridge, Arizona. She vows to avenge the deaths of her kin and transforms into the most feared outlaw the west has ever seen. She quickly becomes head honcho of The Fun Dance Kidz - the rootinest tootinest gang this side of just about anywhere - their conquests are famous; their dance moves, legendary. 

In these now peaceful times, the god fearin’ folk of Coyote’s Ridge don’t want anything to do with an outlaw like Butch and they certainly don't want no dance-off's 'round these here parts… but with Ma Baker still ruling the roost; they may not have a choice. 

Saddle up folk! It's going to be a wild ride… there will be hip swings, there will be pelvis pops, there will sick, sick beats… and there will definitely be some caterwaulin'.
