A Memoir' was written by Scottish/Canadian dancer Anne Allan, who co-choreographed Diana's legendary 'Uptown Girl' routine at Covent Garden.
The article discusses the upcoming feature documentary based on the memoir of Wayne Sleep, a former Royal Ballet star who secretly taught Princess Diana to dance. The memoir, titled "Sleeping with the Stars," reveals how Sleep was invited by Diana to teach her dance moves in the privacy of Kensington Palace. Their dance sessions were kept under wraps, with Sleep being smuggled in and out to avoid media attention. The documentary will explore this unique relationship, showcasing Diana's desire to learn dance for a surprise performance at the Royal Opera House in 1985, where she danced with Sleep to Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl." The project aims to provide insights into Diana's personality and her efforts to break from royal protocol, highlighting her warmth, humor, and the joy she found in dance.
