Miss Molly and her maypole

Add a little colour and a lot of music to your little ones' lives! Miss Molly’s Maypole – Dancing for Kids features a height-adjustable maypole, colourful ribbons, live piano accordion music, and percussion instruments for kids to tap away on. No experience is necessary: just a few kids, a little energy and a camera provide a fun, memorable activity. What’s more, kids will develop a greater appreciation of dance and music and develop some social skills at the same time.

Maypole dancing has a rich history throughout Europe and has diversified into many different styles. Join Miss Molly and her helpers for a fun maypole dance experience and learn how to create colourful patterns on the maypole. Have a go at the energetic Barber's Pole or be challenged by the more elaborate, Austrian-inspired Bandltanz, where kids and their grown-ups weave a creative pattern around the pole. Take a waltz train, enjoy some simple folk dances, or just come along to play percussion to live accordion music.

All ages are welcome.
