Dolphin Dance Party Dolphin Research Center March 17, 2021

The Dolphin Dance Party is the closest thing Dolphin Research Center has to a show, where they put on music and have the dolphins demonstrate some high energy behaviors. Most of the other scheduled presentations are narrated training sessions and interaction programs. This one was done by two male dolphins named Flagler and Talon.
