Giraffes can’t dance…yet. Learn and grow with Gerald the Giraffe as he overcomes challenges, discovers his talents, and finds music that inspires him to dance. The SLSO brings Gerald’s heartwarming journey to life with a playful performance where kids are invited to make music and find their own beat. Based on the book Giraffes Can’t Dance, written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees, this interactive performance is perfect for little listeners with big imaginations.
