Alana Dancing Star: Viennese Waltz

Publisher: Faber Children's Books

Alana is excited about dancing in the Ballroom Bonanza competition, but how can she practice the Viennese Waltz when she doesn’t have a dance partner, and Mum expects her to babysit for her little sister all the time?

Luckily Madame Coco’s Costume Emporium is on hand to help, with a gorgeous magical ball gown that whisks Alana away for an adventure in the ballrooms of nineteenth-century Vienna, which helps her waltz her way to success.

With pretty illustrations, a cut-out doll to dress and even a step-by-step guide to dancing the waltz yourself, this story will appeal to all aspiring young dancers.
