Join us to step, stomp and dance into the world of Zhulong (烛龙), the legendary time-controlling dragon from Chinese mythology.
In this playful movement workshop, children will explore rhythm through dance, storytelling and a stepping drum. Inspired by the myth of Zhulong, whose opening and closing eyes bring day and night, little ones will use their hands, feet, bodies and imaginations to create rhythms, transform into mythical creatures, and bring a dragon world to life.
No dance experience needed - just bring your curiosity and dancing feet!
All children must be accompanied by a parent or carer.
