Description
Born to Dance is a New York Times bestseller!
In Jordan Matter's photos, dancers make all the world their stage. From Jordan Matter, YouTube star and New York Times bestselling author of Dancers Among Us, comes a celebration of what it means to be young and full of possibility. Featuring gorgeous photographs of well-known dancers including Tate McRae and Sofie Dossi, as well as stars in the making, this book captures the essence of youthful potential.
Jordan Matter is known to millions for his 10 Minute Photo Challenge YouTube videos. Now, in one dazzling photograph after another, he portrays dancers ages 2 through 18 in both ordinary and extraordinary pursuits. Whether hanging with friends, taking selfies, leaping for joy, or navigating moments of feeling left out, these dancers are always telling their own stories.
The subjects include TV and internet stars like Chloe Lukasiak, Kalani Hilliker, Nia Sioux, and Kendall Vertes, alongside boys and girls from around the neighbourhood. What they all share is the skill to elevate their hopes and dreams with beauty, humour, grace, and surprise. Complemented by empowering words from the dancers themselves, the photographs convey each child's declaration that they were born to dance.
