Animal Farm - Music for Kids

Animal Farm plays the Arvada Center on Saturday, November 14, at 10 AM. The show is in The Front Room, a transformed ballroom at the center that leaves open floor space for kids and adults to sit and dance alongside the chair seating.

Animal Farm is the stage name of Farmer Dave, an award-winning children's musician who describes his work as "Grownup Music for Kids." He works from a genre-hopping catalog of original songs that touch on social and emotional learning, community, self-expression, and the environment. The live show blends that music with educational comedy and audience participation, so it's as much about getting kids involved as it is about listening.

That's also why the room matters here. Because The Front Room has that open floor space, the kids aren't just stuck in a seat—they can get up and dance while the adults sit around them. It's a setup that works for the way the show is built, with the dancing and the participation as much a part of the experience as the songs themselves. And since it's a morning show, it fits into a Saturday without taking over the whole day.

Tickets are $15 for general admission, with no assigned seats, so you can pick your spot and settle in. The show starts at 10 AM on Saturday, November 14, at the Arvada Center.
