A fun book of poems about different types of dancing. The layout of the poems are engaging to readers, some split the page, other are free forming. The poems themselves are similar styles but vary in length and difficulty. There is one about the Foxtrot, the Cha Cha, the Two Step, and many more. The illustrations are fairly realistic and include multiple different dances from around the world, with a diverse group of people dancing. Any students who are interested in dancing would love this book- some may find it boring! You could definitely do one a day as each poem is fairly long. ( )

This book would a good example of poetry for primary and lower intermediate students. It could also be used to teach were different dances come from in the world. The book is made of poems that talk about different dances and how it cand be fun to feel the beat. ( )

This is a fun one, though I have to admit that I haven't listened to the CD. Maybe I can convince Areg to play it in the car...

Each poem is set to the beat of the type of music for a different particular dance. There's salsa and swing, but there's also hip hop (I didn't know there was just one rhythm), polka, Hora, and bhangra, among others. I wasn't expecting that diversity, and it was such a pleasure! There are a few attempts to change up gender roles: one boy likes to waltz (but only in his room?) and one girl isn't good at square dancing.

I also loved that the entry on swing dance is almost certainly inspired by the swing dance lessons and sessions held in Bryant Park behind the New York Public Library in the summer--the poem talks about all the things you can do at and borrow from the library before switching to swing dancing in the plaza in July!

There are notes in the back with a paragraph about each type of dance.

I totally recommend this one! ( )

This collection of poems about dances from around the world is fantastic. The meter of each poem matches the rhythm of the dance and the online version I read from the library came with audio of the narrator reading the poem with music in the background. Great way to get kids into poetry and moving at the same time. A great addition to any cultural themed story time or as a partner to a non fiction book about a place or group of people.

Book was a great read, and expressed that poems can be crafted and articulated for you to dance with the beat, even through many cultures. Will inspire reader to get moving ( )
