Once Upon A Dance has a bounty of great books and resources, we especially love the Dance-It-Out! creative movement stories for kids ages 4-7.  The series contains 18 books, each book is an independent story ready for the imagination stage and has its own unique feel: different sets, costumes, and choreography.

Another unique and really cool thing about Once Upon A Dance's books is that Ballerina Konora joins each page with creative movement suggestions. Making them perfect for music and movement activities using some of our products like scarves, streamers, and more.

On top of the Dance-It-Out! book series, the Once Upon A Dance catalog includes series for older audiences as well:

• Dancing Shapes: Ballet and Body Awareness for Young Dancers series for kids ages 6+ explores the details of dance, offers a mini-ballet lesson, and provides a gorgeous glimpse into Ballerina Konora’s path to becoming a professional dancer.

• Konora’s Shapes is a terrific resource for physical fun with kids. The creative movement and team building activity suggestions, along with pose photographs, increase body awareness and allow for creative expression.

• Ballet Inspiration and Choreography Concepts debuts with Dance Stance, a “superb tool for ballet beginners focusing on the importance of posture and balance.” (The Wishing Shelf) for children ages 8-12. “Once Upon a Dance inspires children to dance with joy, relax, and enjoy the process.” (Readers’ Favorite)
