25 Years of Gold - Part 3 - Interview with Stuart Hayes (Gold tour co-choreographer and dancer)
Glitter & Gold: The Original Steps PodcastShow Notes
It is both a delight and a privilege to welcome Stuart Hayes as our very special guest on Glitter & Gold, as we continue our celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of Steps’ Gold: Greatest Hits era.
Alongside Paul Domaine, Stuart was co-choreographer on the Gold - Greatest Hits Tour, and he joins us to share his memories of working with Steps on this iconic production. We also look back on his time as one of the group’s key dancers across their arena tours, as well as his involvement in their music videos and live performances. And, of course, we couldn’t let Stuart go without revisiting his own shining moment as “Lisa’s Husband” during Never Get Over You on the Summer 2000 Arena Tour!
Running across November and December 2001, the Gold - Greatest Hits Tour saw Steps perform 31 dates in a Steptacular celebration of the group’s success at the absolute height of their popularity.
Stuart went on to be a key dancer and choreographer for some of pops biggest names in the 2000s including Hear'Say, Dannii Minogue, Diana Ross, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Kylie Minogue, Take That and Boyzone. He is now the Vice Principal of NDC College in Durham, providing a space for the next generation of dancers and creatives.
