Welcome to Litsy!

#HeatOfJuly #day2 #OneDance I searched everywhere for books about dance & came up short.I saw Graeme Murphy‘s Swan Lake at the Sydney Opera House years ago & cried it was so beautiful. So, in lieu of dance books, I‘m going with the 4th Harry Potter which has the gorgeous Yule Ball as a central theme where Hermione turns into Cinderella & Neville finds his dancing shoes.(I just found out it‘s another year till the illustrated version is released😫)

Twelve sisters are condemned to dance each night for the wicked King. It is a curse that has haunted them since their birth. A little more than #onedance but the old King Under Stone “really liked their style” #heatofjuly

Elephant agrees to let Piggie give him dance lessons despite the fact that Elephant insists that “elephants can‘t dance.” Both my kids love elephant and piggie and their antics. #heatofjuly #onedance

Isadora Duncan was the mother of modern dance... but was also the mother of two young children who were killed in a freak accident in Paris in 1913. This is the imagined story of what her life must have been like after that terrible tragedy... #onedance

All the drama caused by #OneDance when Mr Darcy famously refused to dance with Lizzy at the first ball, then at the very next ball asks her to honor him with a dance 😶😰🤣 #PrideandPrejudice #HeatofJuly @Cinfhen

I am sure that Queen Victoria hosted at least #onedance at Windsor Castle when she was Queen. I haven‘t read this yet but it has awesome artwork and seems full of great information about Queen Victoria and this time period! I‘m hoping my 9 year old will be intrigued! #heatofjuly

At the bazaar, Rhett scandalized the crowd paying for #onedance with Scarlett. “She leaped to her feet, her heart hammering so wildly she feared she could not stand, hammering with the thrill of being the center of attention again, of being the most highly desired girl present and oh, best of all, at the prospect of dancing again!” “...she didn‘t care, didn‘t care if he were Abe Lincoln himself! She was going to dance again!” #heatofjuly
