About LittleLion Dance Theatre

LittleLion Dance Theatre is dedicated to producing meaningful and innovative dance pieces and performances for young audiences and families. As movement is the first language in dance theatre, LittleLion aims to take children out of the everyday world into the abstract world of the senses and to encourage them to expand their imagination by making boundless stories of their own.
