Cat Sandion has the first of three dance sessions exploring a snowy environment.
1. Jack Frost
The first dance session is about Jack Frost. He loves to leap over the countryside, making the snow fall and the puddles freeze. There is also a magical sleigh ride when Jack Frost waves his wand and makes the sleigh soar high up into the air.
