What's the only way to dance?

You'll need a beat. Any beat will do.

You'll need a space. Maybe a bright clean stage made of perfectly matched boards or a mossy forest floor.

You'll probably want music. A full orchestra, some trumpets or violins, or the buzz and blare of a busy street.

You might dance with a group, moving together to tell a story. You might dance with family to celebrate something special. You might dance on your own to show who you are.

What's the only way to dance?

Your way!

This beautiful celebration of all kinds of dance will delight readers big and small. No matter how YOU like to dance, this book is for you!
