Swirl by Swirl: Spirals in Nature

I am excited to try out this new book. For creative dance and modern dance teachers, the idea of "a spiral" is an important concept in the body and moving in space. 

Joyce Sidman's book Swirl by Swirl: Spirals in Nature is a beautiful book of poetic language and rich artwork to inspire multiple explorations of spirals in our own bodies, with a partner, and pathways in space. From the book….."A spiral is a growing shape. It starts small and gets bigger, swirl by swirl."

I would recommend this book for students in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. 

For Bay Area dance teachers, the following public libraries have a copy.

Berkeley

Oakland

Alameda
