Once Upon a Dance — Interview with Teacher Terrel
This week’s guest is Once Upon a Dance — Teacher Terrel
Teacher Terrel taught creative movement and ballet for decades. She was honored to be chosen and recognized by her local City Council (2014) for embodying the spirit of partnership and commitment to children in our community for her work with young dancers.
She’s breathed dance from every angle: child to pre-professional to adult ballet student, zoom student, dance teacher, dance mom, competition mom, ballet-school parent-guilder, audience member, recital planner, business owner, and board member.
The Once Upon a Dance books were created by Terrel and her daughter, Konora, during COVID-19. The team's first pandemic creation, Dancing Shapes, has won several awards:
2021 Independent Press Award WINNER
2021 15th Annual National Indie Excellence® Awards Finalist
2021 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist
MOVEMENT. JOY. IMAGINATION!
Many authors know that it is always best to “write what you know.” But what happens when you also want to “show what you know” in a book? In this episode of the Indie Beacon Show, hostess Mary Ann Faremouth interviews Teacher Terrel, one half of the Once Upon a Dance mother/daughter duo who collaborates on writing a variety of children’s books about dance and imagination.
