Creative Dancing
June 21, 15:45-16:30; 150kr; Absalon, Sønder Boulevard 73, Cph V; ages 4-6
It’s time for kids to shake their body.
This creative dancing event enables children to be creative with their body and movements.
It encourages them to express themselves through their movements and to remind them that nobody should be entitled to judge if is right or wrong. An episode of the appaling So You Think You Can Dance, it ain’t.
The only rule is to have fun and laugh, laugh and laugh!
Mostly dominated by pop and African savannah music, the line-up also includes ambience, salsa, hip-hop and swing to get those jazz hands working!
Bring your kids and feel the beat!
