Watching a flashy music video or an episode of "So You Think You Can Dance" probably makes most people a little shy about their dancing skills, but we all know how to dance. After all, dance is just a mash up of everyday movement and imagination. And while a musician might learn how to play piano or guitar, a dancer's instrument is her own body. We just need to explore the unique, artistic voice inside that instrument -- and "Learn to Speak Dance" is all about helping kids do just that!
Drawing upon years of experience as a dancer, and dance teacher, Ann-Marie Williams exposes every aspect of the world of dance -- from different dance styles from around the world to tips on choreography, costume design, performance, staging, and even managing a potential career. She's also brought along the expert opinions of a number of other dancers, set designers, choreographers, and reality TV judges, who share great tips and anecdotes throughout. But there's no need to get stage fright -- "Learn to Speak Dance" isn't an audition, a lecture, or even a class. It's simply a revelation of just how far your own two feet can take you.
