Once Upon a Dance offers movement, breath, joy, connection and imagination through stories. The collection (25 books across four series) features male, female, ungendered and nonbinary diverse characters. Major themes—beyond movement and dance—include empathy, friendship, helping each other, the value of practice, making new friends, self-acceptance, sibling relationships, anger management, and wo

rking toward a goal. Ballerina Konora (named for the CORONAvirus) climbed the pre-professional ballet ladder up to Pacific Northwest Ballet’s Professional Division and is now a full-fledged ballerina. Terrel arrived in Seattle after a Peace Corps stint teaching English and dance. Complementing decades of dance instruction, Terrel worked in early childhood education and for non-profits supporting kids. She was recognized by her City Council for embodying the spirit of partnership and commitment to children in our community for her work with young dancers. Terrel’s breathed ballet from every angle and recently joined the board of Pacific Northwest Ballet. The creations are passion projects, and all royalties are donated.

I believe deeply in the power of dance.

- Dance celebrates a shared humanity.
- It heals the heart, strengthens the body, and shelters the soul.
- Every step expresses resilience, courage, and agency.
- Dancers play with joy, embrace life with wonder, and honor their essence, their journey, and their dreams.

Why we made this

Once Upon A Dance was created in March of 2020. It’s a tough world for a whole generation of young dancers unable to dance in their studios, and we wanted to make something positive from all the sudden free time. With kids stuck at home, Once Upon a Dance was our attempt to encourage exercise, expression, and meditation. Konora the Ballerina is ready to share her movement, creativity, gratitude, persistence, and wisdom. Visit Once Upon A Dance (Children's Dance Books) or Once Upon a Dance on Amazon for information about the Dancing Shapes series (ages 6-8) or the Dance-It-Out series (ages 4-6, debuting February 2021).
