While Dance Stance is designed for ages 8-12, even adults enjoy the “supportive and encouraging” ballet deep dive. Readers explore posture standing on both feet, on tiptoes, and on one leg alongside Ballerina Konora, feline sidekick Ballerina Kittina, and friends in this charming ballet introduction, filled with tips and wisdom.
“Broken down into simple steps with beautiful illustrations, the author and illustrator have handed readers everything they need to know to literally take the first step into ballet.” “From the steps required to execute a perfect relevé to getting the hang of proper leg rotation during turnout, ballet posture is analyzed from every angle.”
"A superb tool ... Highly recommended! ...a truly excellent book ... superbly illustrated" —The Wishing Shelf
"Readers will gain serious know-how in this energetic guide." —BookLife
Dance Stance debuts the Ballet Inspiration and Choreography Concepts trilogy (Watch for Falling into Dance late 2023.) brought to you by a mother-daugther team with over 30 awards for their Dance-It-Out! and Dancing Shapes series for younger audiences.
