Large, attractive photos take the lead in this selection from the Artistic Sports series (6 titles), which introduces readers to the competitive-dance world. It begins by describing very generally how a performance is scored (points are earned for choreography, technique, and more) and how dancers are grouped in a competition. Next, a short history of dance competitions is outlined, and a third section touches on core skills needed by dancers (e.g., strength, flexibility, balance). This title will be of most use to those completely new to the idea of competitive dance rather than those looking to get involved, as the book only paints the sport in the broadest of strokes. Nevertheless, library shelves will be grateful for a series that shows kids a much wider range of sports worth exploring.
