Ballroom dancer here! I have a few... two are mine, one is my ex partner's. 1: I was dating my dance partner at the time and we got into a HUGE argument in the wings about something unrelated to dancing. I was so pissed I forgot the routine. It was supposed to be a sensual rumba. Luckily, in ballroom you can follow your partner and improvise. People who didn't know didn't know, but people who knew us could tell we'd had a screaming match backstage. 2: My partner and I were dancing quickstep at a pretty big showcase in a well-known theater. For context, if a woman forgets her part she can follow and fake; this doesn't work as well for the guy since he's tub lead, but he could improvise. My partner entirely forgot the choreography and the stage was too small to improvise. I had to whisper every step into his ear and we were slightly late on every step. 1: Before the partner from story 1 started dancing with me, he danced with another girl who preferred to just wear embellished bra tops for Latin He forgot to take his watch off at a competition, and it got caught on a tassel on her bra without either of them knowing. When he opened his arm, her bra ripped off 😳

I live in a small town and we where doing a charity concert. one of the dancers hurt her ankle the day before the show and was unable to dance so we had to completely re arrange all the formations, we had something that was half decent by the time we had to go on stage. to set the scene the room was filled with old ladies. The act before us went off stage the curtains closed at the lights went out and where meant to come back on when the curtains opened. THEY DIDN'T. we performed our entire tap dance in the dark on an extremely slippery stage, apart from it being dark the dance went perfectly. 2 of the boys in this dance where doing a dance of their own right after and had a 30 second quick change (the time it took for the mc to introduce them) they started to get changed when we heard over the mc that the old ladies where demanding that we did it again, so they got back in the costume for the group dance they sorted out the lights and we went to go on stage. after many issues with the music starting and stopping or glitching out completely we finally went on. as we where coming on stage I trod on the curtain at the back of the room and fell flat on my bum, I got up and continued to dance only for our music to stop half way through I became so flustered that I went to the old formation at times. we completed the rest of the dance with only the noises of our shoes. after we came off stage the owner of another local studio came up to me saying I was the reason that the lights went out and the music didn't work all because I fell over. happy ending my dance teacher shouted everyone lunch at the fanciest local restaurant to thank us for handling the situation so maturely.

This happened to me when I was 5 and I'm now in my 40s; I had a tiny role in the musical "Gigi"(I played the young Gigi and dancing for no more than 30 seconds) at the theatre Royal in my home town. On the very last night we were all on stage taking our bows, and me being the youngest was right at the end of the line, and the curtain came down on my head. I was so embarrassed, but the audience thought it was really cute and I got a few cheers from the crowd!

I went to a school where the finale of each show, the dancers of the entire school would all do one big dance. So the oldest group would get on stage and start the dance, and as the dance evolved, the younger groups would come in until everyone was on stage. So once you get on, you don't come off, which meant that as the song would progress, the choreography would be easier and easier, as the levels of those coming on stage would be lower. Each group would form a row and the the 4 year olds would be in the first row and everyone would be doing the same choreography which meant that us teenagers at the time would be doing the same boring waves or whatever the 4 year olds where doing. My class got bored and literally stopped dancing. The problem was, do I stop or do I continue, as at one point I was the only one in my row that did not stop. And when they stopped dancing, they didn't assume a nice position to stay in, instead they were slouched and really looked annoyed.

My worst stage story has to be when I was in a group number that was super synchronous and geometric. I must have practised it a 1000 times and hadn't gotten it wrong for weeks. However, the number started off with a double turn and I somehow (to this das I don't know how I even managed that) turned the opposite direction of everybody else. It is the weirdest thing when you turn and everybody's faces turn towards you. The worst part was it being a double turn so I knew it would happen again. My brain stopped working for the rest of the number as I was embarassed like never before, but luckily my body remembered the choreography and the rest went well xD

I was put into a Cinderella show ONE WEEK before opening night because someone dropped out last minute. I had three rehearsals to learn everything and it was going so well, until the last night when they filmed the show and I got the timing wrong, so while the entire corps was running to a line in the middle off the stage, I ran to the back of the stage ready for some grand jetes and just stood there in the corner facing the back wall for a solid 10 seconds as if I was a toddler being punished 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I managed to nip off stage and join the far end of the line, I was meant to be in the middle, so when you watch back the DVD, they just did a really awkward zoom on the first two dancers so they couldn't tell I wasn't there, so embarrassing!

I was a gymnast and I would forget my beam routine all the time at meets even though I practiced it a lot. But because it was so ingrained in my mind I didn’t really have to think about the movements and sometimes I would catch myself in one part and be like uhhh what comes next and then remember. It literally feels like you forgot for like five seconds but looking back at videos it isn’t even noticeable and it looks like nothing happened. My friend and I would always do this. Love your videos and hope you do a part two!!

This is musical theatre rather than dance per se, but I know an actress whose pants fell down during a number where the character was standing on a chair, AND in a heavy rubber mask so she couldn't see! :O :O :O And it was an ensemble number so she couldn't just improvise and make a thing out of it; she had to pretend it hadn't happened and keep going while trying not to trip. I admire her so much for getting through that without going to pieces!!!

So, when I was in college I was part of the behind the scenes staff in a musical, there was this part where a god character used his powers and the way they decided to show that was to lay this huge ass black fabric across the entire stage floor really quickly during a dark moment and then a bunch of dancers would crawl under the fabric and do random moves on the floor... so, there was one show where the fabric got all tangled and we couldn't extend it over the floor on time before the lights were back on so we just ran offstage in panic and there was this whole musical number with a random lump of fabric there in the middle of the stage and no dancers...

Mine was not that bad but all occurred in one take. I got to nutcracker rehearsal late, grabbed the wrong (too small costume) off the rack, but then the stage admin rushed on and gave me mine. Then two seconds later my tutu freaking came untied and fell around me ankles. And THEN! 1,502,738 ballet kneels later the top of my foot started bleeding. One of the stage admins came up and said, “you’re bleeding!” I literally said, it can’t be my period so I’m okay and kept dancing. She said, “no, you’re bleeding. You can’t bleed all over stage”. Me: “Oh.” So I took a bunch of tissues and stuffed it in my transition rights and ran back into formation. Ugh.

A girl who was doing the harlequin in nutcracker actually had a black and white costume and the black legwarmers were part of it. We didn’t get to have a costume rehearsal so she couldn’t have known...one of the leg warmers started falling down during the performance and it was actually scary because it got to the point where it was covering the box of her pointe shoes. Luckily, she was a smart girl and managed to kick them off into the wings during a jump I think. Nobody from the audience noticed but everyone backstage including my ballet teacher were scared and horrified. She could’ve seriously injured herself if she slipped on pointe.

I once got to the theatre and realised I’d left the shoes I needed for Act 1 at home. Had to drive home and got back to the theatre, literally ran through stage door as overture was ending. Still had to do hair and make-up and get into costume and be on stage for the opening of act 1 scene 2. Got on stage in costume, with fake lashes and lipstick, hair not done as per my character but at least with a hasty ribbon tied, with said shoes on. Had to run back to dressing room between a scene to curl my hair and finish make up. Stage manager was NOT impressed. And that was the performance my agent came to watch. And I ran through the parking lot towards the stage door as she was running from her car to the theatre door and she saw me sans make-up, costume and hair 30 seconds before the theatre doors closed. AND I got a speeding fine for my rushed drive back home for the stupid shoes.

Why? It does sound cute - until they do the first time doing a turn and get entangled with everyone else wings. lol, the dance called for us to go under someone's arms and then turn and do it again with someone else. Let's just say the dance was a scream for the audience and the choreagrapher chased the costumer across the theater with a piece of chiffon & one of the headbands and made them experience it. lol

We had a power surge in the middle of nutcracker. The lights went off for a second or two and the music totally stopped. I was Clara and in the middle of a pas with the prince. We kept dancing, but then heard yelling from the wings to come off. Music is still off. Then it came on like 16 counts earlier and we tried to nonchalantly walk back out and took it from where the music was playing.

My back had been burting for quite a while but I kept dancing, assuming it wasn't too big of a deal, but the day before dress rehersal i found out that I had two bulged disks and a fracture and my doc told me if i kept dancing I would need spine surgery. That was great. 😐😐😐.

I was doing a lyrical dance when I was 10 and ran to the wrong side of the stage AND I was at the front so I sprinted to the other side of the stage.

a couple years ago, i was a character in my studio’s show, and i had a dance kind of centred around me, with other younger people in the dance too. i had this really tedious costume to put on, and because it was a dress rehearsal, it could still be modified a little bit, so i got told to go to the craft room so they could fix something on it, so i did, then i heard my music and realised that i was supposed to be onstage, by myself at this point, so i sprinted through the backstage corridors onto the stage, in just my bright red leotard and my tights rolled up, luckily the music stopped and i got to do it again, (still out of costume and with bare feet haha) but i was about 8 counts of 8 late onto the stage.

Once I was at a dance show and one of the older girls was doing a duet with a boy. We only had an hour left before it started and they were rehearsing the dance backstage. He threw her in a lift and she was supposed to land on two feet but then she slipped, sprained her ankle and got her hair stuck in one of the buttons on his shirt. Long story short she went to hospital and I had to replace her in the dance as I picked up choreography really fast but that meant I only had a 40 second change from my contemporary number. she came back from the hospital and picked up my leotard for the duet because she thought it was hers. We had to send the next number on and try find my leo. Luckily we went on stage at the end and we got first place for the over 12’s ballerina duet partners. As a result of this, they moved me into a more technical group at the studio and I went in more older and harder performances. I also got a solo against one of the older dancers and I came 2nd whilst she came 3rd. They were so proud of me that I became the head dancer in all the upcoming group performances. All I can say from this day is ty to the girl who broke her ankle. 😂

This wasn't a dance one but a music show several years ago and basically part way through we had just started the interval and it was really heavy rain and someone was telling for us as it was dripping down and starting to flood the stage and so we had to move all our instruments,electrical equipment and cables off the stage before it set fire to them by being in water and we had to get someone to go up and patch the roof so we could continue while everyone else was trying desperately to dry off the stage so we could use it again Let's just say everyone was very very lucky one minor electric shock to one person who was absolutely fine but we all escaped a huge electric shock with wet electrical equipment or a fire

1. The music went off and on all the time and we had to dance through it 2. When we had to do 2 jumps I did only 1 but I was in the middle so it could have been on purpose 3. The stage was so bad and tiny we had to dance in front of it. It was outside and on cobblestone

This is my horror story: I was at a competition doing my ballet solo. 15 seconds through my solo, my music stopped! So I did basically the whole thing without music. They let me go again after, but then I was doing a pas de chat, hit my feet together, and one of my shoes fell off! Let’s just say that was NOT my day! 😂

I was a soldier and Arabin corps in The Nutcracker last year. In my studios Arabian, there are eight girls in the corps, four on one side, four on the other. And we hold these really long scarves that go all the way across the stage. My friend, and the girl who held the scarf with me, were in the second row. Our costumes have these coins all over them and they have head pieces made out of the same faux coins. When we went to our knees to bring the scarf to the ground, one of the coins was in just the right place to stab my knee. It hurt so bad that I got up to early making my friend think it was time to get up. At the same time my friends sleeve got cought on her headpiece that was bobby pinned to her head, and she couldn't get her sleeve off, so she ripped her headpiece off bobby pins and all! Not to mention it was Friday the 13th! So yeah that's my story hope you enjoyed :)
