Critic reviews
"An absolute delight to read, these poems will have children and adults moving to the beat. A charming addition to poetry and music collections." (School Library Journal)
"A celebration of the variety and global diversity of dance, and of how it can unite communities." (Publishers Weekly)
"Skilled poet Singer varies her verse form according to the featured dance.... This has additional potential for reading aloud to much younger listeners to broaden out dance topics from the usual run of ballet, ballet, ballet and to introduce some opportunities to get up and cut a rug." (BCCB)
