Have fun through dance and movement. Join Company Chameleon’s Co-Director Kevin and his little ones, in moving and grooving together for Family Fridays. Round the family tree up and be creative together.

For June, Company Chameleon are handing the choreography over to you, with the challenge of creating your own family-friendly phrases and partner dances, inspired by Chameleon’s unique movement style and contact work.

Get started by getting inspired and taking a look at the series on YouTube. Each episode is around 15 minutes in length. Then get dancing and share a clip of you dancing together. Connect on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook tagging Company Chameleon and using the hashtag #FamilyFridays.

Family Fridays is part of The Wonder of Dance, Chameleon’s online dance programme, which hopes to uplift, entertain, make you think and make you feel through the wonder of dance and movement.

GET BAKED

Newly opened cakery in Stevensons Square, Northern Quarter Manchester. Get Baked brings all the Yorkshire charm and sweetness one of the city’s most popular squares. Get Baked is now one of the fastest growing dessert brands in the UK which is ultimately what led to the opening of this sister site in Manchester this year.

Discover Lotherton, a country estate, historic hall and Wildlife World zoo. Our Edwardian estate is truly a great place for a family day out, with plenty to keep children and grown ups entertained! The expansive grounds and gardens are lovely walking spots, with or without four-legged companions. Each season brings new surprises including wild garlic in the spring, a sea of colourful blooms in summer in the formal gardens and stunning autumnal colours later on in the year. We have two playgrounds which means there's plenty of space for running about and letting off steam, with zip wires for older children to enjoy. Our evolving zoo, Wildlife World, is a real highlight of any visit and we'd highly recommend popping by to see the Humboldt penguins splash and swim in their pool. Other colourful characters include Arthur the tapir, our resident porcupines and a flamboyance of pink flamingos. Stop in at the shop on your way to pick up your very own version of one of our Lotherton
