Drumbeat in our Feet
is a children’s book that outlines the different types of dances and drum
circles that are native to many countries in Africa. This book goes through and
outlines many different styles of dances, along with where and why they
originated. (There is a paragraph for each type of dance that gives a lot of
information describing the history and content for each page.) Although this
book does not come with a cd of the correct music to do these dances to, but there
is plenty of artwork throughout to help set the mood for the students reading
this book. This book could go a long way in educating students on ancestral and
historically accurate songs and dances from the African continent.
