Underground Dances

Many of Denise Fleming's picture books are fun to use in dance classes – full of action words and animal inspiration. Her latest book, Underground, is a wonderful new addition. 

I have a small collection of books about plants and animals underground. This theme is fun to explore in preschool and kindergarten dance classes. 

Use Fleming's new book to inspire improvisation activities or a group dance. This picture includes numerous animals and creatures that go underground – digging, tunneling, and burrowing.

For teachers and teaching artists who have iPads, you could get the ebook version of the story to have on hand. The ebook is available on iTunes for $12.99.
