Spring into action and shake off those winter blues at our lively family dance party this February half-term!
DJ Quest and Lotte Norgaard will lead us through a high-energy session of music, dance and movement games, with props, lights, and family fun galore. This event is aimed at children aged 3-8 but will also be fun for the whole family. You’ll be sure to leave with a big smile on your face and a spring in your step!
Find parties overwhelming? There will also be a quiet space for children who need time out or have additional sensory needs. Easy-read social stories describing the event are available for all families upon request.
Get ready to bounce and ‘boing’ into a fun-filled morning!

DJ Quest
Quest is a former UK DMC DJ champion ranking 3rd place in the world championships, who uses big beats and baselines, quick mixing and scratching skills to move the body and souls of any crowd.
He has gone on to DJ and tour extensively and is always on a quest to mesmerise, energise and electrify the floor!
His experience allows him to play many genres whilst mostly specialising in Hip Hop, Funk, Soul and everything from big bass music to chilled out lofi.
Quest also performs as an MC so is always there to further motivate a crowd!
Lotte Nørgaard
Having grown up in Denmark and Cornwall, Lotte has a BA in Theatre from Dartington College of Arts and has worked on set and in production for theatre, tv, film and radio as well as having a background in education and community arts.
She is co-founder of Bristol based Dragonbird Theatre who have been offering immersive theatre and play to families in the South West for 10 years.
Lotte will be leading the dance party with music from DJ Quest, as she loves to get her groove on and is never happier than when the whole room is dancing. This makes her other job as a ceilidh caller all the better!
