Family Circle: Vanaver Caravan

The Vanaver Caravan: World Dance & Music for the Winter Season

Families are invited to join The Vanaver Caravan for a fully participatory multicultural dance and music experience. The Caravan will teach various holiday dances that celebrate many occasions and traditions and how they bring light into the darkest time of year.

• Christmas
• Chanukah
• Diwali
• Kwanzaa
• Solstice

Lifting spirits, inspiring joy, and building a sense of community are signature qualities of The Vanaver Caravan.

All ages and abilities welcome!

Psst..... The Caravan will be talent scouting for some young dancers to participate in their upcoming holiday production at The Egg, Into the Light: A Tale of Hope, featuring giant puppets on Saturday, December 5th. A few dances from this special Family Circle will be in the show!

Bring your best dancing shoes and your singing voices for a fun, festive Family Circle.

About Family Circle:
The Egg's Family Circle is a monthly series designed especially for families to connect, create, and experience the arts together. Held on the first Saturday of every month at 2PM in The Egg's lobby, this free program offers a welcoming, informal environment where kids and caregivers alike can feel at home. This isn't a concert where kids have to sit quietly; each program is purposefully interactive, celebrating arts from around the globe with creatives who are based right here in the Capital Region.

The Egg's Family Circle Series is supported by M&T Bank.
