Despite the students at first treating the classes as social occasions, and showing little co-ordination, they later develop a level of skill and cohesiveness. The dance routines are the background for the focus of the play, the relationship and interaction of different people. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Stepping_Out_(play)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-Unreferenced plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Unreferenced" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>does not <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">cite</a> any <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">sources</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Stepping_Out_(play)" title="Special:EditPage/Stepping Out (play)">improve this section</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a>.

"My wife hadn't been to the tap dance class", he explained. "She went to join a <a href="/wiki/Modern_dance" title="Modern dance">modern dance</a> group, so it was by pure luck that I happened to go there and look through the window when a tap dance class was going on. It struck me that they all seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves and I thought if I could capture that, the pleasure they are clearly getting out of the class, I might be a winner. So I spent a period researching and going to various dance classes and then wrote the play". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Productions">Productions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Stepping_Out_(play)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Productions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The original production of <i>Stepping Out</i> premiered in 1984 at <a href="/wiki/Leatherhead" title="Leatherhead">Leatherhead</a> Theatre,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> directed by actress <a href="/wiki/Julia_McKenzie" title="Julia McKenzie">Julia McKenzie</a> with cast: <a href="/wiki/Barbara_Ferris" title="Barbara Ferris">Barbara Ferris</a> <i>(Mavis)</i>, Sheri Shepstone <i>(Mrs. Fraser)</i>, <a href="/wiki/Charlotte_Barker" title="Charlotte Barker">Charlotte Barker</a> <i>(Lynne)</i>, Josephine Gordon <i>(Dorothy)</i>, <a href="/wiki/Barbara_Young_(actress)" title="Barbara Young (actress)">Barbara Young</a> <i>(Maxine)</i>, Gabrielle Lloyd <i>(Andy)</i>, <a href="/wiki/Ben_Aris" title="Ben Aris">Ben Aris</a> <i>(Geoffrey)</i>, <a href="/wiki/Diane_Langton" title="Diane Langton">Diane Langton</a> <i>(Sylvia)</i>, <a href="/wiki/Peggy_Phango" title="Peggy Phango">Peggy Phango</a> <i>(Rose)</i> and <a href="/wiki/Marcia_Warren" title="Marcia Warren">Marcia Warren</a> <i>(Vera)</i>.
