So grab your coffee, tune in to the IMDA’s Website, IMDA’s YouTube Channel or the IMDA Facebook Page and join in for a full day of wonderful entertainment featuring local talented musicians, dancers and actors.
For the wee ones!
In addition to the three sets of Irish entertainment, IMDA has some very special entertainment planned for our littlest audience members. A special “Children’s Set,” will be available all day long – on-demand on the IMDA’s Website, IMDA’s YouTube Channel or the IMDA Facebook Page. These interactive offerings, are designed to have the wee ones up on their feet and singing and dancing!
Celtic Cuties. Join instructor Alisa to learn Celtic Cuties rhymes, finger plays, and songs. This is a great way to introduce the little ones to Irish music and movement. This is a sample of the classes offered for little ones 0 to 4 through the Center for Irish Music.
Music and Dance with Danielle Enblom (dancer, fiddler and ethnochoreologist). Danielle has taught, performed, and studied with artists and via institutions around the world. Kids will love getting up on their feet to learn some new songs and dances.
Celtic Music Party with Laura MacKenzie and Ross Sutter. An interactive session inviting kids 5 – 12 to experience musical performances, get involved through creative activities and movement, and learn about the people, cultures, and sounds behind the music. Kids are encouraged to make their own pizza box bodhran (drum) beforehand and play along. This presentation is one of the KidsJam workshops offered by the Schubert Club.
We know that if the kids like something, they enjoy seeing it again. So these performances will be available on-demand, all day. So tune in whenever you have some time.
