The goblin society in the novel ‘Dance of the Goblins’ was based on the author's experience with the London squat party scene. A trip to Japan added a little formality to their social customs, but the goblins still operate with no hierarchy.
Producer Denise Channing appeared on the November 5th 2007 broadcast of BBC2 program _Dragon's Den (2004)_ , asking for £175,000 to put towards the movie adaptation of her novel Dance of the Goblins. She failed to gain investment from the 'dragons'.
Producer Denise Channing decided, after a visit to Hallswood Wildlife Sanctuary in Norfolk to save a stray cat, that the sanctuary would receive a percentage of the profits from Dance of the Goblins as a donation to help the rescue efforts of the wildlife sanctuary.
The concept of 'The Dance' as the spiritual connection between the goblins and the rhythms of the earth was inspired by the song "Mr. Midnight" written by Robert Danova for the production of Phantom of the Opera On Ice.
