It is Teresa's belief that dance should be above all, fun. It is also a guiding principal that children are capable of grasping a range of social dance styles at an early age (and it's never too late for PE Educators either!). Last but not least, Teresa believes that great music provides the connection between the children of today and the world of dance, and should always be considered an important part of the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.08 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 08, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52506031423795,"sku":"9781512357882","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/bEdzOWlMNnQ2c0VHUkNEVzZ5bVlRUT09.webp?v=1760237827","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/middle-high-grades-6-12-a-social-dance-unit-for-schools-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
