Family Concert: Dance Across America

Walk the dog at a hoedown in a fast machine: a dance/road trip across the USA.

Fancy a road-trip? The American landscape calls out for big cars and fast roads – or the other way round. John Adams once wrote ‘You know how it is when someone asks you to ride in a terrific sports car, and then you wish you hadn't?’ It’s easy to feel the exhilarating terror of the passenger taking a Short Ride in a Fast Machine. And Route 66 is, famously, the place to get your kicks. This concert is also a tribute to the dance: hoedowns, rumbles, mambas. We defy you to stay in your seat. Plus, join us for an hour of free craft activities before the concert!

Suitable for children aged 6+. All Family Concerts are British Sign Language interpreted.
