Does your little one just love dancing?
Mine does too! All she wants to do is dance around our living room. If you ask E, she'll tell you that she loves ballet more than anything except ice cream and even more than Mommy and Daddy! If I were going to buy books about dancing, these would be them!
I love Little Golden Books! This book for little ballerinas comes with cute illustrations and is also pretty instructive! The little girl goes to her dance class, and we get to watch as she warms up and then shows us different dance positions and moves.
I hope this book will help both boys and girls who want to dance! This book is about a little boy who just LOVES to dance. However, not everyone understands him, and he's often bullied for being in ballet. The book shows how he uses the skills he learns in ballet class in more arenas than just dance. Hopefully, this book will help boys who love to dance to be confident in themselves, and it will help the kids around them to understand them and support them.
We actually have this one! And my 3 year old loves it, of course. We're big fans of Boynton books, and this one is just as cute as the others. Even my one year old can get through this one, and she has zero patience for books. Each dinosaur does a different made-up dance move, except for the tiny little dino who does the cha-cha-cha. My kids love trying to act out the moves, so this counts as reading time and exercise!
Another great book for little boys (and the boys and girls around them) who love to dance. Nate goes on a field trip to the ballet, and he completely falls in love with it. His brother, however, hates the ballet and thinks it's "stupid." This attitude begins to wear on Nate, and we get to see how Nate deals with this adversity.
The Night Before My Dance Recital
This is just a cute little book about dancers getting ready for their dance recital. It is set to the theme of T'was the Night Before Christmas, which gives it a fun, familiar feel. The dancers are both boys and girls, so this is a fun one for all kids!
Brontorina
This is a cute little book about a dinosaur who wants to become a ballerina. At first, everyone is a bit skeptical, even shocked. Soon, though, Brontorina brings them around. It's a great story about being who you are and doing what you love, no matter what others might say about it.
Ballerina: A Step-by-Step Guide to Ballet
This is a practical guide for the serious ballerina! This book is for older girls who are looking for a much closer look into what ballet really is. It is chock full of ballet terms and lovely picture demonstrations of each term. A little bit of a side note, but I love that the pictures are of girls of multiple races: ballet is not just a "rich white girl" thing, but can bring grace and discipline and fun to everyone.
