Dance Stance

Young dancers who long to hit the studio will find this debut a playful blend of jokes, practical advice, personal stories, and step-by-step instruction, all shared by a working professional ballerina.

The book walks readers through the basics of posture. They practice standing on both feet, rising onto their toes, and balancing on a single leg. Along the way they meet Ballerina Konora and her friends, joined by a kitty in a tutu who brings silly moments and upbeat encouragement.

The book is the work of the mother and daughter team behind Once Upon a Dance. The pair also created the Dance-It-Out! and Dancing Shapes series, which are aimed at younger readers.
