Music and movement session for children aged 18 months to 5 years and their grown-ups, inspired by 'The Gruffalo'.
Playful Moves: The Gruffalo comes to Chapel Street Arts Centre on Friday 13 November, as part of the 'Dance with Rosy' series. It's one of the children's strands of the Autumn Derby Book Festival, and it's built around the story of The Gruffalo.
Dance teacher Rosy leads the session, and the idea is simple: children and their grown-ups listen to the story and move their bodies in ways inspired by it. Music and movement are the main things here, with props and instruments on hand to help the imagination run and bring the book's characters to life. It's aimed at children aged 18 months to 5 years, and adults need to accompany them and have their own ticket. There are craft activities running for 30 minutes before or after the session, so you can make a bit more of the visit if you fancy it.
The venue is Chapel Street Arts Centre at 19 Chapel Street, DE1 3GU. It was formerly the home of Déda and is now Derby's hub for music, dance, theatre and workshops, managed by Derby LIVE.
