We have been grateful to offer our annual show at Cain Park at no cost to attendees for the past 24 years. This year, Cain Park is introducing ticket pricing to help cover rising production costs and ensure that we can continue delivering a high quality show for years to come. We hope to see you in the audience!
We had such a joyful time dancing with the early learners at The Music Settlement yesterday!
After listening to the story, the children shared their imaginative responses! These curious young movers noticed how the dancers moved like “the worries” in the story, and celebrated the moment when the child “smashed it” to overcome their problem.
So many smiles, giggles, and moments of discovery along the way. ✨
We look forward to sharing “What Do You Do With A Problem?” in the future with young audiences across our region and beyond.
