Dear all,

Just to let you know that In toto theatre in association with the Friends of the
Mini Mints
are trialing a four-week subsidised Family Dance and Play Class at Mint Street
Adventure
Playground, Southwark Bridge Rd.

The trial will be used to determine the final format of a 10 week course to
start in January
2008.

The aim of the sessions is to combine music, movement and play for a dance
session that
involves both parent and child. All sessions will begin with some
storytelling/arts and
crafts/puppetry and will lead into the dance.

The unrestricted age classes are to allow parents and childminders to bring
children of
differing ages to a session. The longer session also allows for a longer lead
up to the
dance and for a break in the middle for snacks and rest. The aim of the trial
would be to
determine parental preferrance for the January class with regards the time of
the sessions,
the format of the sessions, the length of the sessions and the age guidance of
the
sessions. Your feedback will be invaluable.

Irrespective of the sessions chosen there will be a limited number of bouncers
and baby
mats available for pre-crawling babies for parents to use while concentrating on
older
children.
