Laurie will showcase an array of tunes that encourage kids and grownups alike to get up and dance, including a couple of brand new ones! Kids should plan to bring their dancing shoes and a stuffed animal (for their heads).

A first of its kind in Miami, Little Jam Fest brings together children's music from Laurie Berkner, Joanie Leeds, the New World Symphony, the Jam with Jamie Band, and various interactive experiences for kids with local brands and businesses.
