With an infectiously excitable host, fun animations and easy-to-learn moves, this ABC show about First Nations culture and dance is for viewers young and old
There’s an unending list of things to be worried about as a new parent: nap time, tummy time, vaccinations, viral illnesses. But nothing elicits a more rabid response among parents than the issue of “screen time”. How much is acceptable? Should our kids have personal screens? And what on earth is a “low-stimulation” kids show?
Into this messy discourse hops ABC’s Dance with Tom – a delightfully simple and joyously crafted show hosted by dancer-choreographer and proud Minjungbal/Wiradjuri man Thomas E.S. Kelly, who uses oral storytelling, animation and choreography to teach kids First Nations stories, dance and language.
