Ella's Dance Debut: A Dance-It-Out Ballet Story - Hardcover
by Once Upon A. Dance (Author), Emilia Rumińska (Illustrator)
Ella's thrilled about her new part but quickly realizes she's only filling in and won't perform on stage.
This advanced Dance-It-Out! ballet story is ideal for dance students or kids aged 6-9 who have enjoyed other books in the series. Kids are invited to join Ashton and Ballerina Konora practicing steps such as pliés, tendus, rond de jambes, petit battements, and sautés.
Ballerina Konora joins the pages with photos of ballet steps and ideas for further movement exploration. Ella's Dance Debut features Ashton (no pronouns), Ella (she), and other dancers. Readers get a backstage look at professional ballet life as Ella experiences the studio and theater's sights, sounds, and smells. Handling disappointment, empathy, and the discipline of dance weave into this charming understudy story.
A brief biography of Ashton Edwards, Pacific Northwest Ballet dancer, appears at the back of the book.
