School Workshops: Animal Grooves 18 - 21 Jun 2024
After a visit to The Beautiful Beasts Exhibition viewing the mighty creatures, travel to a sensory jungle with dance artist Mónica Muñoz in this playful dance and movement workshop for younger class groups.
The animals are waking up! We will explore lots of different and exciting animals from this faraway place and discover how they move.
Stamp like an elephant, creep like a tiger, wiggle like a snake, hop like a frog... What animal moves can you come up with? We will twist, tumble, bounce and boogie!
*These workshops are relaxed and we welcome ASD groups and/or children with additional needs.
