Tumble Tots

Next date: Friday, 01 May 2026 | 10:00 AM to 10:45 AM

Join us for this exciting new program inspired by Sally Smart's current exhibition, The Artists Ballet, and spend some quality time nurturing your little ones in a relaxed, social setting.

 Allegra Dance Studios’ Tumble Tots program extends Sally Smart’s exhibition The Artists Ballet beyond the gallery walls through embodied, participatory movement experiences. Drawing directly on the exhibition’s use of fabric, repetition, collage, colour, and fragmented bodies, this program translates Smart’s artistic methods into age‑appropriate dance encounters that prioritise process, sensation, and observation over performance.

Tumble Tots invites young children to explore the exhibition’s ideas through playful movement, imagination, sensory discovery, reflection, and close looking—positioning the museum as both studio and stage.

Tumble Tots supports 2-4 year olds to develop gross and fine motor skills while participating in a fun, energetic and encouraging environment with their parent/carer. Through music, activities, and colourful play, these tiny tumblers know how to have fun!

Parents/carers are welcome to participate.
