Zoobin Surty is a choreographer and dancer from Mumbai, India, though based in Leeds. In 2014 he produced and directed this show, performed at Christmas at Saltburn Community Theatre. In October, whilst rehearsals were ongoing, Zoobin enlisted Shelley Eva Haden, an award winning professional dancer, to perform on the beach. Her work would be used as a backdrop for the live performance of the show at Saltburn, and subsequently in Leeds. Shelley was also joined for some of the shoot by Saltburn based dancer/teacher Estelle Reed, whose work was crucial to the Saltburn December show.
