Das Ist Lustig has a very interactive "edutainment" program designed with all school aged children and young adults in mind. Children are encouraged to sing along, ring along, and even learn folk dances. Valina incorporates some German language into the shows, challenging the children to learn the meaning. They have so much fun they don't realize they're learning! Das Ist Lustig has performed for Houstonfest, Kleinfest and Deutsche Samstag.
Want to have special entertainment for your features on the Netherlands? Das Ist Lustig also performs as Dutch Touch. They have a repertoir of Dutch songs, wooden shoes for students to try on, and a couple of Dutch folk dances to teach. Valina also speaks Dutch.

The photo from Kleinfest below is the only one that isn't completely blurry...(there was a lot of energy in that room!) These kids schunkeled, played cowbells, helped with the march, and danced two folk dances they learned on the spot. They even got the memo on which Dirndl to wear!
