The first in a series introducing three major dance families: ballet, hip-hop, and jazz, from a world-renowned children's educator and artist.

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

This inspiring dance series will inspire young children to dance at home or in their community, in socks or ballet slippers, alone or with others.
