Creative movement storytime series that pairs the dance company ZoomDance with Queen Memorial Library, followed by a sensory art project.
ZoomDance is bringing its storytime series to Queen Memorial Library on Saturday, October 24, at 10 AM. It's a partnership between the dance company and the library, and the sessions are built around a story that gets read aloud and then acted out through movement. The whole thing is meant to be joyful, silly, and creative, and it's open to school-age children, preschoolers, toddlers, and families.
Each session follows a story and is rounded off with a sensory art project, which turns the reading into a full-body experience. The movement part comes from ZoomDance, and the art project lets kids work with their hands after they've spent the morning on their feet. It's a good way to get kids moving and making things in the same hour, and the sensory focus means it's as much about the textures and the doing as it is about the story itself.
ZoomDance describes the series as a joyful, silly, and creative movement storytime, and that's a fair summary of how it works: you hear a story, you move to it, and you make something to take home. It sits alongside the library's wider Storytimes, Children's Literature, and Arts and Crafts offerings, so it's one part of a larger schedule of things for kids at the branch.
