Kids Culture Tasting

Would you like to learn an instrument? Or would you rather take a dance, music or drawing class? On Saturday 21 June, come and find out what culture is on offer for children in Almere. From 12.00 to 15.00, meet culture clubs, there will be demos and you can try things for yourself!

Check out the entire programme below. PLEASE NOTE: the activities are mixed up, so check the whole list.

This afternoon is a collaboration with Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur Almere. This fund helps families who cannot afford the tuition fees. Because every child deserves to participate!

• The dancers of United Dance Almere will give an energetic performance at 12:15. Will you come and watch too? Then at 12:30 you can learn cool dance moves yourself and join this fun dance workshop.
• Learning to play the guitar? Take part in the introductory lesson of the VVFLEX Foundation. This workshop will introduce you to the guitar in a creative way. Whether you already play a bit or are touching a string for the first time, everyone can join in. We explore the instrument, discover how to make sound in surprising ways, and above all: we make music together. It's not about complicated theory or perfect notes, but about listening to each other and daring to participate. With very little you can create something great. For those who already have experience, there are extra challenges and for beginners we keep it accessible and playful. So open your ears, be surprised and play along!
• Would you like to play keyboard? You can do that too at VVFLEX Foundation. Join this workshop. Keyboard/piano lessons are available individually, duo or in groups. We teach beginners as well as advanced students of all ages. Various components are covered. Basic knowledge, such as theory, technique, chords, notation, playing by ear, different musical styles, making your own songs, and more. Practice songs are covered, but also, for instance, well-known pop songs you like. We always listen to what you want to learn. And if you want lessons in a duo or as a group, you can also play or jam together. So if you have always wanted to learn to play piano or keyboard, sign up!
• Discover the violin and even learn to play a piece during De Vioolsleutel's workshop.
• Step into the world of spontaneous music with Vocal Improv! In this workshop by VVFLEX Foundation, we use our voices in different ways: rap, singing, word art, beatboxing and the craziest sounds you can make! No experience is necessary - everyone is welcome. It's all about freedom, creativity and daring to follow your musical instinct.

• Art workshop by ARTelier Palet Companion. Art is all about effect: it has to touch you or make you think. You have to experience it! That's why we will work with abstract art.

• Kliederlab workshop. While making a mess, all senses are stimulated. Stimulating and discovering the senses is crucial for young children's development. So come and mess around too!
