Still Moving - Early Years Dance Workshop 11 Jun 2022

This Cruinniú na nÓg, join Monica Muñoz for an early years dance workshop for children aged 2 to 4 yrs.

This fun and interactive dance and movement workshop is full of physical games specially designed for parents and children to move and play together. From low on the floor to high in the air, from boogie time to cuddle time…this workshop explores how you can spice up everyday games and physical interaction with your little ones.

This workshop makes it easy to move and play together and helps to develop a child motor’s skills, discover physical possibilities and build mutual trust. This special workshop will feature live music from a percussionist drummer!

Reminder: Please wear comfortable clothes

This workshop is being delivered as part of Our Seedlings workshops. Our Seedlings workshops offer opportunities for children to explore materials and the world around them through playful and engaging activities. Ideal for getting little ones (and their grown-up!) imagining and creating together. They are devised and presented by Monica Muñoz specifically for early years. Monica is The Ark’s John Coolahan Early Years Artist in Residence 2021/22. You can find out more about Monica below.
