CALLING ALL LITTLE MOVERS!
MINI
MOVERS
Children dance before they even learn to walk...
That's why we think its important to nurture that natural instinct and allow them to explore all kinds of movement.
​
“The festival has always offered classes for children aged eight and up, so younger siblings just bopped on the side lines, but we wanted to give the little ones a moment to shine and develop a love of dance for themselves,” says VDF Director and Mum of a Mini Dancer, Deborah Searle.
​
In 2023 we held 4 Mini Movers Classes on Sat 15 April delivered by internationally renowned specialists in pre school dance education from around the world including -
Baby Ballet (UK)
Acrobatic Arts (Canada)
Rambert Grades (UK)
and Twinkle Star Dance (US)
​
All Mini Movers tickets include access to all Mini Classes and Dance Market access.
