Dance wrote several hit musicals, including ''The Gay Parisienne'' (1894) and ''A Chinese Honeymoon'' (1899), one of the most successful musicals in history until the 1940s. In the early years of the 20th century, he became one of the most successful theatrical managers in the United Kingdom, managing many productions both on the West End and on tour. ==Biography== Dance was born in Nottingham, England, the son of Isaac Dance (1824–1880) a pipe maker. Dance was educated at the National School, Sneinton, Nottingham.
