The Blog Begins

Welcome to my new blog. One of my niches within dance education is my running list of book resources for dance teaching artists, librarians, classroom teachers, students, and parents. This blog will share recent book finds and recommendations. I will also post where you can purchase the book. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I will note which public libraries have the book. Please join me!
