Description
Little Lotte wants to dance all the time, but her mum and dad want her to do something sensible with her life.
One day, she hears music drifting out of a window. Inside, she sees children dancing on their toes, wearing beautiful flared skirts and moving with long, graceful movements. How can she convince her parents to let her join the dance?
“The Dancing Princess” is an interactive performance where the children in the audience actively take part, helping Lotte move the story forward through dance and movement.
The experience lasts approximately 30–40 minutes. After the performance, the children will have the opportunity to see and feel pointe shoes up close and talk to the dancer.
A perfect Saturday activity for children who love to move!
