What to Expect
Get ready for a joyful and energetic dance party designed especially for young children aged 3 and above. This event invites families to move and groove together, inspired by the rhythms and movements of native Australian animals. Kids will learn to slither like snakes, jump like kangaroos, crawl like goannas, run like emus, and fly like eagles, making it a fun and immersive experience.
The session is led by early childhood educator Jacinta Daniher alongside Taylor Hampton, a proud Ngiyampaa/Wiradjuri man, who will share their celebratory book "Our Dance". Expect an engaging and interactive time that encourages children to get up on their feet and express themselves through movement.
