Illustrated by
Patricia A. Keeler.
Told in simple verse and lengthier descriptions, the story of African dance--origins, traditions, music--from various cultures serves as a backdrop for a children's dance troupe in Harlem. Sepia scenes of Africa flow across double-page spreads into scenes of the New York rehearsals and performance, all captured in soft watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations. A map, photos, and profile of the troupe are included. Bib.
