SuitabookBoys dancing
George Ancona
- Reading
- Look through the photographs together and invite your child to choose one moment to describe: what might the dancers be practising, and what clues suggest how the group works together?
- Themes
- Boys and dance: Four boys join school dance teams and rehearse alongside boys and girls from other schools. The book places boys in dance and performance, but the available details do not establish a broader argument about gender or how that participation is evaluated.
- Worth knowing
- The rehearsed numbers include a fake swordfight. It is described as pretend performance, not as real fighting; consider whether that kind of staged action suits your child.
