About the Performers
Koo Koo Kanga Roo is the dance-a-long comedy show from Bryan and Neil, two friends who set out to experiment with live music and make it more fun. Armed with nothing more than an iPod, two mics, and some gold sneakers, Koo Koo Kanga Roo puts on an all-ages dance party that invites everyone to join in. They are psyched to perform on the Walker hillside this summer!
Cypher Side Dance School is a dance studio based in St. Paul specializing in hip-hop and break dancing for all ages. Cypher Side offers classes to students aged 5 and up.
Outdoor Performance and Event Guidelines
Mask-wearing is recommended for outdoor performances. Lawn furniture and smoking are not allowed. There will be a food truck, a water bottle refill station, and a handwashing station at the bottom of the hill.
Accessibility
There will be two accessible seating spaces on level grassy areas on the hillside—one at the bottom of the hill and one halfway up the hill. These spaces are next to a paved path and will have chairs for people who need them. Staff members stationed around the hillside will be able to assist with accessible seating.
