Many rhythms, one personal way to dance

Breakdancing, bhangra, and ballet sit alongside dances with family, in a group, or alone in this picture book’s broad celebration of movement. Its central idea is that dancing can take place with any beat, in many kinds of spaces, and for different reasons—from sharing a story to marking a special occasion or expressing yourself. The range of examples gives the book a multicultural frame while keeping personal expression at its center.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 curious about dance and movement
  • Families looking for a picture book that introduces dance forms from around the world
  • Young readers interested in self-expression and dancing together

Book overview

THREE STARRED REVIEWS! - From the author of The Only Way to Make Bread comes a new picture book that's a sumptuous celebration of dance from around the world, from breakdancing to bhangra to ballet.

What's the only way to dance?

You'll need a beat. Any beat will do.

You'll need a space. Maybe a bright clean stage made of perfectly matched boards or a mossy forest floor.

You'll probably want music. A full orchestra, some trumpets or violins, or the buzz and blare of a busy street.

You might dance with a group, moving together to tell a story. You might dance with family to celebrate something special. You might dance on your own to show who you are.

What's the only way to dance?

Your way!

This beautiful celebration of all kinds of dance will delight readers big and small. No matter how YOU like to dance, this book is for you!
