The first in a series that introduces three major dance families- ballet, hip-hop, and jazz, from a world-renowned early childhood educator and performer.

This first introduction to classical dance begins with a simple explanation of what defines a classical dancer. Young readers are then invited on a global exploration of different classical dances, from ballet to synchronized swimming to Kabuki; the ways dancers move; and who they move with.

This encouraging dance series will inspire young children to dance in their home or in their community, in socks or ballet shoes, and alone or with others.
