Duvet Dancing is an interactive dance experience for babies, toddlers and their grown-ups, providing many ‘take home’ ideas that can be incorporated into continuous play or specific movement sessions.
Developed by community dance artist Anna Daly, Duvet Dancing encourages adults and children to enjoy the soft ‘duvet’ space together, move and dance to the music and experiment with voile scarves.
While mostly non-verbal, there is a strong focus on the gestures and vocal sounds linked to movement that encourage connection and early communication. View it at: www.annadaly.co.uk/project09.
