A DREAMY HIP-HOP DANCE PERFORMANCE FOR TODDLERS (4+)

In a playful dream world, two hip-hop dancers and a beatboxer take you on a night-time journey to the land of imagination. A pleasant world where nothing is what it seems and where your dreams come true. Colours, sounds and characters that you only encounter in dreamland change in the same rhythm as the seasons. They come to life in this fantasy world where everything seems to float.

In Sribi Switi (Surinamese for “sleep well”), hip-hop dance forms such as popping, robotics, tutting and waving are complemented live with sounds, samples and music from a beatboxer. Sribi Switi is a playful performance with a universal story, inspired by well-known Surinamese and Dutch children's stories and songs.
