Who we are

At Once Upon A Dance, we are a mother-daughter duo with a deep passion for dance and storytelling. Our mission is to share the joy of movement, celebrate the beauty and discipline of ballet, and encourage freedom of expression through our creative movement books for kids. We believe in the power of combining dance and storytelling to inspire young minds and bodies.

What we Do

Our Dancing Shapes Series, including Ballet and Body Awareness for Young Dancers, is designed to engage children in a magical journey with Ballerina Konora. Through captivating illustrations and a mini-ballet class, readers are introduced to the world of dance while exploring shapes and details. Additionally, our Dance-It-Out creative movement stories are tailored for kids aged 4-7 to enjoy with their dance teachers, parents/caregivers, or teachers in preschools, daycares, and elementary schools. These stories not only entertain but also provide movement motivation and ideas for young dancers.
