Review:

Do you like to dance? What style of dance do you prefer? Perhaps you like to breakdance, cha-cha, ballet or even line dance. This story shows diversity in dance from around the world. 

If you dance in the Flamenco style you would tap your toes and snap your fingers. If you dance the Long-Sleeve dance, you will glide and slide. If you want to be like the Kuku dancers, you will wiggle your hips. Ballet dancers leap high and if you want to dance in a group you could line dance the do-si-do. 

Kids who dance or want to learn and try different dances will enjoy this delightful high energy story. Cheery and vibrantly colored illustrations show dancers on the move. Young readers will enjoy the bounce and rhyme of the words sharing movement. It’s also easy to read and navigate for any beginner.  Parents and teachers can share this lively story and discuss dances from different cultures and invite listeners to show some of their own dance moves.
