When Langston Dances

A young Black boy dreams of dancing in this exuberant, buoyant picture book celebrating the beauty of dance, and the wonder of Black Boy Joy--perfect for fans of Firebird and Crown

Langston likes basketball okay, but what he loves is to dance--ever since he saw the Alvin Ailey Dance Company perform. He longs to twirl into a pirouette, whirl into a piqu . He wants to arabesque and attitude, grand battement and grand jet . When he walks, the whole street is his stage.

With his neighborhood cheering him on, will Langston achieve his dream?
