During his performance, Alex will be the adventure leader taking audiences on a fun-filled journey that leads to many of the world’s treasures and fun facts for all. Alex will lead lively musical games, percussion jams and group dances, creating a profound sense of community and connection. Traditional seasonal songs like “Frosty the Snowman” and “My Favorite Things” will get everyone singing along, while Alex’s original songs like “Insect Tourists,” “Crocodile,” and “Dino Dig” are not only a blast to dance to, but also teach fun facts about the world around us. Additionally, “Mama’s In The Kitchen,” “Love Is All It Takes,” and “Tell Me A Story” bring everyone together in joyous moments of musical magic.

Alex Mitnick looks forward to these events and says, “I’m excited about sharing the joy of the holiday season with families from Christmas day through the day of New Year’s Eve in the Philadelphia area.
