Curtain Up! - Children's Dance Book - NEW! Introduction

I am offering Curtain Up!: A Book for Young Performers Hardcover – Picture Book, Sept. 14 2010 by Dirk Mclean (Author), France Brassard (Illustrator) Author's Outline: Young Amaya is auditioning for a role in a professional play. Although she longs to perform, she is about to learn how much team effort and hard work is involved. As the reader follows her progress from a nervous hopeful at an audition through the fittings for costumes, the rehearsals, the memory work, and even stage fright, Dirk McLean introduces the many people and jobs involved in staging a play. A glossary provides descriptions of terms like casting, choreography, and blocking. Written by an author with extensive firsthand theater experience, this is a must-have resource for young children who are performers. And for those who only dream of a career on stage, it is entertaining to share Amaya's journey and to feel the thrill of a peek behind the scenes. A great book for the young ballerina in your life!
