Animals Get Funky!

What's a good dance book without music right?

This lyrical children's program playfully illustrates creative dance moves that are fun for the mind, spirit, and body.

Inspired by Anne Green Gilbert's Dance Concepts, and the work of modern dance pioneer, Rudolf von Laban, each dance has been carefully crafted to highlight dance moves that support brain development, reduce stress, and inspire confident, healthy families.
