Synopsis

Konora’s Shapes and More Konora’s Shapes were created for dance educators to use in their ballet and creative movement classes. With wide inside margins and blank even pages, instructors can cut out over fifty poses per book to make a set of images. Multiple ideas for engaging young dancers will ensure teachers cherish their collection of near-silhouette, dance-inspired poses.

Students contemplate or re-create the poses as they develop an eye for detail; explore dance concepts; increase body awareness, spatial perception, and balance; and practice ballet technique. While designed for teachers, kids at home might enjoy using Konora’s Shapes or More Konora’s Shapes paired with Dancing Shapes or More Dancing Shapes.

Home-school parents, physical education teachers, early education specialists, and curriculum planners might also appreciate this book’s ideas and games for kids’ movement and exercise.

This collection of ballet photos would make a great recital gift to a beloved ballerina, ballerino, dance instructor, or studio owner.
