Pitch
Alan is a little pig who dreams of dance stardom. He has the desire, the drive, the determination…and no dance talent whatsoever. He desperately needs to find a genre that suits (if one even exists) if he is ever to fulfil his dreams. But after he trips, flips and his trousers rip during hip hop, embarrassed Alan’s pride is bruised (as well as his bottom) and he decides it’s time to fold away his Lycra pants and try something else. But ‘Fit Pig’ doesn’t quite cut it for Alan and he soon discovers that doing what you adore brings its own reward.

He joined Miss Peacock’s ballet class, but much to his regret,
he crashed and bashed the teacher when he tried to pirouette.
