Inspired by the picture book Ally at the Park (Ally di Taman) by Norlin Samat, Dance with Ally! is a vibrant, interactive English-Malay performance where words wiggle, pounce, and dance.
Ally is a curious, dancing cat brought to life through whimsical choreography. She explores the outdoors and meets new animal friends, while discovering Malay words along the way. Through joyful movement and immersive storytelling, children won't just hear new words—they'll feel them, move with them, and remember them.
This dance theatre performance can be enjoyed by young children and families, whether or not they are already familiar with Malay.
Norlin Samat (Poppet) is an educator and author of the Ally’s Adventures series. Dance artists Faye Lim and Bernice Lee (Rolypoly Family) create playful, movement-based experiences for children. Together, they bring their passion for language, creativity, and joyful learning to life through interactive performances that inspire curiosity, connection, and imagination in young audiences.
"The whole programme is simply excellent. My Grandchild & myself enjoy every minute of it. Look forward for more. It is not only enjoyable, its also educational. Beautiful music and dance."
"The cat dance, swan actions was very interactive for kids. Allows kids to be participative. Overall, this was well executed and would like to thank the team for the well played performance."
