If You Take Me To
The Nutcracker
About the Book
When you take your child to watch the Nutcracker, they may be inspired to become a dancer. If you say yes, as a dance parent, you too will glide through a series of cherished memories as you watch your dancer grow from learning which foot is their left and which is the right to experiencing the various challenges and joys dance will bring to your family. Each page of “If You Take Me To The Nutcracker” celebrates the joy of dance and showcases the beauty of taking that first step into a new world and all the possible steps that may follow, reminding us that dancing is for everyone.
Giving the Gift of Dance
We are pleased to share that all proceeds from "If You Take Me To The Nutcracker" will go to our Scholarship Program!
At Bella Dance Academy we are committed to providing the highest caliber of dance education in a warm environment that fosters self-esteem, discipline, teamwork, and positive influence. We know that our classes offer so much more than dance education, and we want to share this gift with as many children and families as possible. Our Scholarship Program was designed to do exactly that. Our intention is to include those who are less fortunate within our community and involve everyone in dance, and the performing arts!
About the Author - Amber Henry
Amber Henry started her artistic journey in floppy poodle ears and a pair of tap shoes. That first step led to classes in ballet, jazz, highland dancing, musical theatre, then cheerleading ... and, in between, she was writing! After initially pursuing an acting career in Toronto, Amber found her way to Yellowknife and began to focus more seriously on writing. Now, she feels like she’s finally found her way home. Her other works include “A Ptarmigan in a Birch Tree” and “Northern Princess”.
