Tiny Tunes: Giraffes Can’t Dance

Giraffes can’t dance… yet. Learn and grow with Gerald the Giraffe as he overcomes adversity, discovers his talents, and finds music that inspires him to dance. Beloved music from Camille Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals brings the story of Giraffes Can’t Dance to life as students make music with the SLSO. 

Based on the book Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreae, illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees.
