About Danny, Denny, And The Dancing Dragon: A
Product Description Movement, Breathe, and Imagination! Interactive movement wrapped up in a charming story of new baby disappointment. Only little brother Denny has a big surprise for his brother Danny! Kadessa the Dragon makes a fabulous dance partner in this third story from the Dance-It-Out collection, pandemic creations by an award-winning dance teacher and her Ballerina daughter. Grown-ups sit; kiddos move and practice dance fundamentals. Ballerina Konora is featured on each page as optional movement mentor to help readers connect with movement. About the AuthorKonora dances with Ballet Idaho and was previously in Pacific Northwest Ballet’s Professional Division. She's danced iconic roles such as Sugar Plum Fairy and Cinderella. Konora’s mother taught creative movement and ballet for decades and was recognized by her local City Council (2014) for embodying the spirit of partnership and commitment to children in our community for her work with young dancers. She’s breathed dance from every angle: child to pre-professional to adult ballet student, zoom student, dance teacher, dance mom, competition mom, ballet-school parent-guilder, audience member, recital planner, business owner, and board member. Once Upon a Dance’s first pandemic creation, Dancing Shapes, was named a 2021 Independent Press Award Winner.

The magic of childhood is at its strongest when reality exceeds a child's expectations. In Danny, Denny and the Dancing Dragon, big brother Danny has great expectations of what life with a younger sibling will be like. Those hopes are dashed when all his new born brother Denny can do is burble and babble and not even respond to him. But Danny is in for a delightful surprise when his disenchantment turns to enchantment as he discovers his baby brother has the power to summon a magical dragon! While the main story arc is a tale of brotherhood, becoming an older sibling, and expectations versus reality with a touch of magic thrown in, the subtext of the story is just as strong. The tale is accompanied by Ballerina Konora's side narration, inviting readers to dance and breathe and move along with her as the story is read aloud. Photos of her poses and movements provide further elaboration and encouragement to get up and move as the story is told. The Dance it Out series is ideal for any child or group of children who just can't bear to sit still
