See those very same dances come alive with a new generation of dancers. In captivating detail Drumbeat In Our Feet captures the beauty, history, and energy of African dance.

About the Author:
PATRICIA KEELER was first introduced to African dance by her stepdaughter who has been dancing for years. Pursuing the idea for a book, Keeler met Júlio Leitão and was inspired by the young dancers in his Batoto Yetu dance troupe. With this book Keeler hopes to introduce the richness of African dance to young readers everywhere. She lives with her husband in Hoboken, New Jersey. JÚLIO LEITÃO was born in Luena, Angola. He came to the United States in 1985 and has taught dance for more than fifteen years. He founded the Batoto Yetu African dance troupe for children in 1990. He views sharing the dances of his homeland with a new generation as a way to “make sure our first-hand account of history is passed on.” Leitão lives with his wife and daughter in New York City.
