Captivating straight talk and inspiration from Ballerina Konora, ideal for young ballet fans ages 7-10.
Aspiring dancers get an inside perspective on casting, competitions, and career, as well as a lesson in movement and dance, in this fourth book in the Dancing Shapes collection.
The books begin with an aspect of Konora’s ballet journey: after a couple rounds of auditions, she’s a finalist for a dance job: Will she get the job? Will she take the job, pack up and move to a new state? Konora then looks back at competitions, shares wisdom, and discusses subjectivity, then takes readers through a warm-up, mini-ballet lesson, and an exploration of shape and detail.
Early reviewers say this is the most intimate of the series and that it provides a fascinating peek at the nitty-gritty of chasing your dreams in a highly competitive field.
The interactive challenges for young dancers build on concepts introduced in Dancing Shapes and More Dancing Shapes and will be best for kids who have had success with those or are experienced movers.
Dancing Shapes is “a visually stunning and interactive” pandemic creation by an award-winning dance teacher and her ballerina daughter.
