In every Book Beats episode we dance out a book! Today’s book is Tap! Tap! Tap! Dance! Dance! Dance! by Henre Tullet.

If you want to read or listen along to the full story and check out the amazing illustrations I highly recommend visiting your local library to see if they have a copy of this book.

New Listen.Think.Leap! episodes are coming soon!
In season 3, all episodes are switching over to our minutes to move break format where just one creative movement activity is featured so you can still dance even when you are racing between your daily scheduled activities whether it’s school, sports, music, arts or just hanging out with friends and family. Past themes like vibrant verbs, dance games, and dance dictionary elements will still be around, but instead of being in one long episode, they will be broken up over several smaller episodes. We will be adding new themes to some of our episodes including Dance Book Beats where we’ll talk about a great dance book for you to read and dance to and sensory steps, where we dance out our senses like touch, taste and smell.

Also new this season is a chance for you to be a part of the podcast. With a grown-up's permission, record yourself sharing your favorite way to dance whether it be jump, spin, leap, ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern, west african dance and send it in to [email protected] - I want to hear from you! You can also become a supporter of this podcast and get exclusive early access to episodes, monthly bonus episodes, and thank you shout out when you first join.
