"I Feel Like Dancing" is a devised piece of storytelling using traditional African children's stories with music, drumming, song and dance.

Who's that hiding behind those trees?  Eyes peep through the jungle, sounds in the bush?  Could be fun...  Join Anansi the spider, the talking toad, tortoise, elephant, tiger, grasshopper and hare - join in their dances as they play tricks on each other one hot day in the steamy African jungle.

"I Feel Like Dancing" is a fun exploration of cultural diversity, rhyme, rhythm, songs and dance for very young audiences.  The show lasts approximately 35 minutes and can be performed with a participatory workshop - singing and dancing (lasts approximately 20). 

"A vibrant performance that our pupils were able

to play a full part in. Excellent"

Nethergate Special School
