I Am A Dancer


Whenever you skip stairs, jump like a frog, sway to the tune in your head, or try to fly like a bird, you're moving just the way a dancer does.

"Seeing movement in so many diverse things and places, children will catch the idea and find their own inner dancer." –Children's Literature
