You Can Be a Dancer

by Alix Wood

Overview

Music videos, reality shows, and Broadway musicals all employ talented dancers that can move to the music. These dancers all spent many years practicing and perfecting good dance technique, and possibly took classes in many genres, including ballet, jazz, tap, and hip-hop. Through an introduction to each of the different styles of dance, readers can choose which they'd be most interested in. Then, they can follow full-color photographs and detailed explanations to learn a move or two. From a shuffle hop step to the wave, readers will be ready to dance in no time.
