SECOND HAND DANCE

The four dancers in We Touch, We Play, We Dance weave around the space, inviting babies and children to join them in a warm hearted and playful performance. With music mixed live by a DJ, the dancers respond to the children, guiding them through a series of exchanges and encounters, with high fives, hugs and dancing.

Created by Second Hand Dance We Touch, We Play, We Dance is a mesmerising, engaging and fun performance for children under 3.   It’s a show filled with surprises and joys where you and your child can listen and watch or let loose and join in, either way, you’ll have a wonderful time.
