Creating Your Book Collection on “Color”

I love the theme of colors – making a dance related to a particular color and images/feelings, or dancing with a prop of a particular color.

Here is a great list of books to have on hand for ideas and inspiration. You might not necessarily read all of these books cover to cover, but can easily reference them for dance ideas. Create a "book bin" if you can. (I love having "color" and "alphabet" book bins for preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade dance classes.)
