Today I want to share about a wonderful project called Book to Boogie. The information is housed on a website about libraries --- about the many ways that libraries can be used for activities, arts integration, and community building. Dancer Kerry Aradhya curates the project.
Book to Boogie is about using picture books as springboards for dance activities. The ideas can be used for a storytime at a library or a dance class (parent/child, preschool age, or kindergarten).
As you head back to teaching this school year, consider browsing this site. Nearly 40 books have been highlighted on Book to Boogie. Each author shares about the story, how to use it in a movement exploration, and further extensions of a book's theme and movement concepts.
Whether you teach dance in a studio, preschool, or elementary school, check this out!
