4 Wings, 2 Legs, Ukuleles, and a Tale
, Jan 16 – 17 at 2pm  

First up, 4 Wings, 2 Legs, Ukuleles, and a Tale is a jam packed showcase full of rock bands and family acts, animals, and 

insects. Sing and bop along with The Ukaladies and their ukuleles, the punk rock of Dirty Power: Weena Pauly, Katy 

Pyle & Katie Workum, and the whimsical sounds of Michael Hearst. Dance with YaliniDream and her pet monkey, 

engage in a game of dance with Brandin Steffensen, and enjoy the running, jumping, and howling talents of El Macho del Norte (John Leo) and his Sidekick. Sit back and let your imagination go wild as you enjoy an afternoon of far 

reaching journeys and tropical creatures.  

Dances by Very Young Choreographers, Jan 23 at 2pm, Jan 24 at 1pm and 4pm  

Dances by Very Young Choreographers is a mélange of witty and intriguing original dances created and performed by 

children ages 8-18.   The young choreographers have been taught and mentored by Ellen Robbins, the nationally 

renowned dance educator, since they were the tender age of five. The dances are sometimes hilarious, 

sometimes melancholic, but always surprising. Choreographic themes can include dramatic storylines, real-life situations, 

the world at large, or may be cleverly abstract. Don't miss this opportunity to inspire your children by exposing them to live 

performances created and performed by their peers.
