Ages 2–5
Join us for a lively family session exploring traditional music and dance!
Led by Trish Keelan, the session will celebrate the joys of Early English Folk Music. Children and parents will participate in songs and dance written in the 17th century – some may be surprisingly familiar!
Dance and Music is vital for young children to build co-ordination, balance, listening skills, early strength and social confidence – and of course, have fun! Explore dances such as Jenny Pluck Pears and Rakes of Mallow, incorporating line dances, circle dances and snake dances, all kept to a steady beat through percussive instruments, bells and ribbons, and instruments in the ·¬ÇÑÖ±²¥app Museum that were used to teach people country and courtly dances of the time. Plus, enjoy an exploration of sea shanty songs and maybe get in a pirate ship and explore the sounds of the sea!
A fun day to explore traditional music and discover songs and dance that have been handed down through the centuries.
