Children, families and young adults
Dancing Books, movement, stories and fun for little ones
As part of the Year of Reading, families can enjoy Dancing Books, a lively and interactive programme for babies and toddlers aged-under-four and their carers.
Delivered by DanceWest, these sessions bring stories to life through creative movement, music and play. Dancing Books supports early literacy, phonics, imagination and storytelling, all while getting little children moving and having fun.
Where and when:
-
Osterley Community Hub and Library, every Tuesday
