I have to read 40 Children's Books for one of my classes. They are divided into categories and the first category is a topic/subject of my choice for a Book Talk we will give. My topic: Dance.
So far, I've read four books. (I know I'm a bit behind but I hope to spend much of my day in the library tomorrow or Saturday!) If you don't mind, I'll keep a running record and update you on all the books I choose. If you have any suggestions, let me know! I love to read, especially children's books! I know, I'm a child at heart.
10 Books (Nonfiction or Fiction) on Dance:
1. Dance! by Elisha Cooper (I really like this one-the print is in unusual patterns and beautiful water color pictures are used as illustrations, the information is also very accurate!)
2. Dance for Fun! by Balinda Craig-Quidad (good resource for kids, shows a wide variety of dance styles)
3. A Young Dancer The Life of an Ailey Student (check out the Alvin Ailey School!)
4. Feel The Beat! Dancing in Music Videos by Tenai Cutcher (might not recommend this for elementary school kids to read as it discusses MTV, but interesting information)

What about Angelina Ballerina? I think we have a few children's dance books here at home due to the budding dancer that lived here:>
Hey Em! That's a neat project. I was trying to think of some books I grew up reading that involved dance, but wasn't coming up with any. I went onto BarnesandNoble.com though and searched dance under children's books...and wow! Over 100 books popped up! Good luck reading your 40 :)
