What a wonderful day we had at the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Family Workshop. Children together with their families had lots of fun with creative dancing, crafts and a tea to finish.
Mums, dads and their little ones took part in the creative dance session. All together had a good time finding different ways to fall into the White Rabbit's hole, to paint the Queen of Hearts' roses, or to find a way out of the labyrinth.
After exploring stage directions with the help of the Cheshire Cat, families collaborated to create a simple dance in which children took the leadership. It was lovely to see the children helping parents with their experience in dance.
Afterwards, it was crafts time. Tables placed, lots of glittery materials and heart-shaped markers, all set for our cup creations - after all we were to have a tea party.
Could we have tea in those cups? I think the Mad Hatter would say yes to that. Children did beautiful creations and some parents did theirs too!
To finish, we had a lovely tea with biscuits and a cheesecake a mum brought, how lovely. (Thank you, Elle!) We did our own tea party, just as the Mad Hatter would have wanted us to. (I'll leave it to your imagination whether we used the cups we created.)
It was really nice to see how ballet and dance gathered families together and how the story generated a playful moment for all. I loved to see the collaboration and teamwork between families. I think with this workshop parents could experience how our classes are like.
Hope you had as much fun as I did and hope to see you soon in any future workshop and in our classes!
