Brielle’s Birthday Ball: A Dance-It-Out Creative Movement Story for Young Movers

By Once Upon a Dance

Brielle's Birthday Ball is the perfect Dance-It-Out! Creative Movement Stories introduction and wonderful gift for any young child celebrating a birthday. Each series volume is an independent story, ideal for kids 4-7. While there are some challenging movements, younger preschoolers will enjoy Brielle’s adventures, where she is joined by the Man in the Moon and his family. Dance-It-Out!s are a bit above level (language-wise) as they are often initially enjoyed with a caregiver or teacher.

Each Dance-It-Out! story is a kids’ dance performance for the imagination stage. Ballerina Konora joins the fun with dance suggestions on each page. Three books in one: readers can enjoy the story, act out the tale in their own way, or follow Konora’s suggested moves, designed by an award-winning ballet teacher.

"Brielle's Birthday Ball is a great way of introducing kids to the world of dance while couching these movements into a broader journey of magic, dreams, and movement responses . . . it is very highly recommended"
