TEACHING ARTIST SESSION

M-018 Crawfish & the Zydeco Tales: Interactive Kids Music Experience

Join Crawfish and friends for a toe-tappin’, hand-clappin’ Zydeco adventure straight from the heart of Louisiana! In this 42-minute interactive session, kids sing, dance, and laugh their way through fun YouTube hits like “Zydeco 123,” “Crawfish Shuffle,” “Don’t Eat My Fruit Loops,” and more.

Each song brings a mix of rhythm, storytelling, and movement — teaching children about Louisiana culture, Creole roots, and the joy of Zydeco music. Kids get to clap, count, play percussion, and join the Crawfish band in this lively, educational performance that blends music, learning, and pure fun. Single session or mini presentation
