What We Do
Turtle Dance Music brings music and fun to children all around the world. We do this by connecting the caregivers of kids (and teens and adults) who have special, sensory, social needs with engaging content that is both entertaining and educational.
Interactive In-Person and Virtual Music Shows
IN-PERSON EVENTS
Book “The Bubble, Comedy And Music Show!” It’s the best in-person show in the country! Mr. Matt “The Turtle Man” performs the most high energy, super fun in-person events that your kids, staff and families will talk about for the rest of the school year! When Mr. Matt visits a school it’s like a national holiday. Some schools even refer to it as “Turtle Man Day!” Audience members always ask, “When is he coming back next?” Mr. Matt can travel anywhere in the US and Internationally in-person. Send an e-mail to Info@TurtleDanceMusic.com for more information. Matt’s in-person schedule fills up quickly and his summer schedule sells out every year.
INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL EVENTS
Mr. Matt is like a Dad version of Ms. Rachel For Littles, Danny Go, Blippi or Jack Hartmann. On Zoom Mr. Matt can transform into a running pickle, a singing banana, a jaguar playing soccer or a zebra eating pancakes! The audience controls the entire show and the kids laugh and dance SOO much. It will 100% hold their attention. He recently performed for Doordash’s Take Your Child To Work Day for all of their Corporate HQ’s in NYC/SFC/PHX/TORONTO, several cyber schools including Georgia Cyber Academy, Autism Centers and Children’s Hospitals who have children with immune system sensitivities/higher risk of infection and has regular monthly membership events with early childhood centers and libraries from Harrisburg, PA to remote islands like Kona, Hawaii (see photo on the right). It’s not only fun but it’s easy to set up, the families love it and it’s SPOT ON if you’re looking for a budget friendly event. And it’s personalized for your kids (I learn every child’s name in the room and do tons of crowd work!) which is superior to passively or even actively watching/dancing to a Youtube video.
Matt’s virtual programs are all on Zoom/Teams/Google Meet and can be shared with a Smartboard/TV/or projected on a movie screen (you can totally dance from your laptop, phone or tablet, too!).
