This series of titles on different styles of dance is suitable for a Year 3-4 class level. Since the advent of the Dancing with the Stars phenomenon on television in the last few years, books and AV material on dance have been waltzing off the shelf. Also with new changes to the Physical Wellbeing and Dance parts of the curriculum there is a new focus on dance as exercise, as well as a performance art for juniors in schools.
These books aim to encourage and enthuse rookie dancers rather than instruct – the books could have benefited from a few simple instructional diagrams. Otherwise, colourfully illustrated and well laid out they are an attractive buy for any school library. Other dance styles included in the series are on ballet, breakdancing, dance teams, hip-hop dancing, and tap dance. Each title in the series includes a glossary, fast facts, a list of other resources and a short list of websites.
